[Intro]
We're actually gonna do- uh, we're actually gonna do quite a few new songs off our new record, "Up". We're gonna do a bunch from, uh, the record for that "New Adventures In HI-FI". Just because, uh, we like it a lot
So this is called "New Test Leper"

[Verse 1]
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]
You call me a leper
You call me a leper
You call me a leper

[Verse 2]
"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
