R. E. M. LyricsSong: 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) |
