Wretched are he who sees the word
('Blessed' is used in the very first line,[are he who SPEAKS the word], but the second time is 'Wretched' [are he who SEES the word])
You’re televised to tell yours lies > You’re televised to tell your lies
('yours' should be 'your')
POSSIBLE corrections (if anyone has the lyrics booklet, feel free to validate/refute any of these)
Holiness are well rehearsed > Holiness so well rehearsed
('are well rehearsed' doesn't really make sense, and, in my opinion, it doesn't even sound like they say it in the song. "so well rehearsed" is what I hear, and it would make more sense,)
Walk on father out to sea > Walk on farther out to sea
(It sounds like that to me - especially in the last part of the song. It changes the meaning of the line, but It makes a bit more sense to me)
Money made messiahs > Money-made messiahs
(Grammar rule: i.e., "'messiahs' became messiahs for money", not "The money physically created the messiahs)
Again, I'm not sure about those last ones, but it's worth checking if anyone has the official lyric booklet handy">

I don't have the booklet, but some here are some things that I can tell by listening to the song (and by referencing a couple rules of grammar):
Dollars signs > Dollar signs
(singular)
Wont make you our savior > Won't make you our savior
(apostrophe)
Done before you started > Done before you've started
(grammar rule, but I'm 95% sure that 'you've' is the word used in the song as well) [also applies to "You're done before you started"]

Notice how there is a "Lyric Correction" menu option, which I very clearly selected. It's even highlighted in bright orange letters for you. This sight is primarily about interpretations, but anything in the dropdown menu has an intended purpose as well. They weren't just put there out of boredom.

Slight mistakes and variations in lyrics can make a world of difference in the overall meaning. You should be aware of that before you try to interpret anything.

i don't want to see your gramatical corrections. the site is about interpretting lyrics.
