New Adventures in Hi-Fi - R.E.M. lyrics

New Test Leper
R.E.M. Song Lyrics

Artist: R.E.M.
Album: New Adventures in Hi-Fi (1996)

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)
