"I'm Not Jesus" is a song by the Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica, featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot and Stone Sour. The single was released on September 17, 2007, and again on March 4, 2008,[1] on the album Worlds Collide.
The song thematizes child abuse by clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who was sexually abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his abuser.
The song was co-written by ex-Filter guitarist and composer Geno Lenardo and vocalist Johnny Andrews.[citation needed]
