Lyrics R.E.M. – New Test Leper
Text:
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?
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 flatter.
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 5 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.
What a sad parade
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
