R.e.m. - New Test Leper lyrics

(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)
