Rem - New Test Leper lyrics

I can't say that I love Jesus.

That would be a hollow claim.

He did make some observations

And I'm quoting them today.

"Judge not lest ye be judged."

What a beautiful refrain.

The studio audience disagrees.

Have his lambs all gone astray?

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

"You are lost and disillusioned!"

What an awful thing to say.

I know this show doesn't matter.

It means nothing to me.

I thought I might help them understand

But what an ugly thing to see.

"I am not an animal"

Subtitled under the screen.

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

When I tried to tell my story

They cut me off to take a break.

I sat silent five commercials

I had nothing left to say.

The talk show host was index-carded.

All organized and blank.

The other guests were scared and hardened.

What a sad parade.

Call me a leper

Call me a leper

Call me a leper.
