Memory
In the back seat of your parent's gold Volvo,
we waved to passing cars
and talked about who would win the world series.
And now we could care less about baseball
or how much the rookie card is worth.
We could care less.
Do you remember those days at all?
When we threw it back in their face.
All the girls we kissed
and how we thought those days would never end.
And here we are today.
And now you're getting married
and I'm struggling to find a date.
I'm struggling.
And all the games we play
New Test Leper
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?
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.
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
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
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
Call me a leper
