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)
