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)
