Fisher of Men Lyrics

I hate my friends.
That phony holy-roller girlfriend,
the money she wears in her teeth.

I hate my friends,
Let me say it again,
Nice and clear.
I want a halo for my baby,
Now all that I'm dreaming is true.

It's why I hate my friends.

I've been thinking it through,
Nothing is true.
But if you want to squawk I'll listen.
And we can talk about the master,
And what it takes to believe.

And why I hate my friends.
It's why I hate my friends.

Oh, I'm a fisher of men.
and I ain't got time for a season of sin.

I only see your face in pictures,
It's all that I want in this world.

It's why I hate my friends.

Oh, I'm a fisher of men.
And I ain't got time for a season of sin.

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.

I think it my might be "holy rolling" as opposed to "holy war".

"Nice and clear", not "Now I sit here".
