New Test Leper текст песни

New Test Leper

(berry/buck/mills/stipe)


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?

(chorus)
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

(repeat chorus)

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

(repeat chorus)
