D        A          G    A
I can't say that I love Jesus
D           A            G
that would be a hollow claim.
 D      A        G     A
He did make some observations
D        A              G
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:
A  G   A   D A         G
            Call me a leper
A  G   A   D A         G
            Call me a leper
A  G   A   D A         G   A  G   A   D
            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
What an ugly thing to see
"I am not an animal"
Subtitled under the screen

Chorus

When I tried to tell my story
They cut me off to take a break
I sat silent five 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

Chorus
