New Test Leper

I can’t say that I love Jesus\nThat would be a hollow claim\nHe did make some observations\nAnd I’m «ing them today\n«Judge not lest ye be judged»\nWhat a beautiful refrain\nThe studio audience disagrees\nHave his lambs all gone astray?\nCall me a leper\nCall me a leper\nCall me a leper\n«You are lost and disillusioned!»\nWhat an awful thing to say\nI know this show doesn’t flatter\nIt means nothing to me\nI thought I might help them understand\nBut what an ugly thing to see\n«I am not an animal»\nSubtitled under the screen\n(repeat chorus)\nWhen I tried to tell my story\nThey cut me off to take a break\nI sat silent 5 commercials\nI had nothing left to say\nThe talk show host was index-carded\nAll organized and blank\nThe other guests were scared and hardened\nWhat a sad parade\nWhat a sad parade\n(repeat chorus)
