"I'm Not Jesus" is a song by the Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica, featuring Corey Taylor from Slipknot/Stone Sour. The single was released on September 17, 2007 off the album Worlds Collide.
The song thematizes child-abuse through clerics. Corey Taylor sings from the perspective of a man who has been abused by a priest when he was a child and now confronts his torturer. The music video also shows children from the streets and a few of the kids suffered from neglect and ran away to make a living in bad parts of the city. Some were also abused or failed to show good expectation from their parents and were drowned but escaped. Before the ending choruses a boy seems to look like a bully and gives a nasty look. But in the end they all gang up to show the audience that they are family protecting each other, something that before all the children met wished they had.
The song was co-writen by Filter guitarist and composer Geno Lenardo and vocalist Johnny Andrews.
