I Can't Stand His Name Lyrics

Maybe a work of fiction
And the friction that it's caused is sickening
The devil's dog and the evidence has no one thinking
A celebrity perhaps, at worst a novelty.

How can you speak his name with a straight face?
More than a passing phase
Less than a reality
Commercial icon shoves the world into insanity
Prying eyes, dishing lies
Mainstream misleading franchise
Pay to praise his name with a straight face

Always credited for victory yet never for tragedy...

Greed feeds the grasp for fame
Narcissistic arrogant and vain
Everyone's a link in this idiotic chain
I cannot stand his name
I can't stand his name

(solo Jaeger)

Greed feeds the grasp for fame
Narcissistic arrogant and vain
Everyone's a link in this idiotic chain
I cannot stand his name

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Everybody has someone they can't stand. Upon getting to know this song people will believe that "HIS NAME" is Jesus Christ. Not necessarily, as I certainly had someone else is mind. But if you want to think it's a stab at Jesus, go ahead. Organized religion has stupified and brainwashed so many people all over the world to the point where they would die for it. Even worse, they preach and try to force their beliefs on other people who just happen to be intelligent enough not to buy into it. I believe that death is death and that is that, so live your life the way you want without bringing harm to others until you're gone...just like you were before you were born. World Under Blood is surely not anti-faith, but I purposely can't stand people who preach. Either way, that's not "who" or "what" I had in mind anyway. A pretty brutal track, the bridge is a surprise and I love how the kick drums get faster and faster. cool shit for sure." - Deron Miller
