I can't say that I love Jesus, that would be a hollow claim
D        A                G         A      D           A                 G
He did make some observations, and I'm quoting them today
D        A          G       A          D         A           G
"Judge not, lest ye be judged", what a beautiful refrain

Repeat chords for remaining verses

"You are lost and disillusioned", what an awful thing to say
I know this show doesn't matter, 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

Chorus

                     Bm       D         G       Bm        D      G      A

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 organised and blank
The other guests were scared and hardened, what a sad parade

A     G             A      B       C#       D
What a sad parade

Chorus
