Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> The Birthday Massacre

Song lyrics aren't supposed to be a fountain of perfect english, but on the other hand some are just so atrocious, they need to get called out. We're not looking for sentance fragments or the word ain't since there are too many instances to count.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics, The Birthday Massacre

Check out the index.


Pins & Needles (Jewl) album at Amazon.com
The Birthday Massacre's, "Last Daze (Funland Mix)"
The Lyrics:
Come waste away now your last daze
Run/Cut/Throw/Sign away your life today
Why:
It would make more sense to be "Come waste away on your last days/daze", rather than "now". The first word of the other line in the chorus is also really hard to make out (or maybe the singer just changed it each time?) but sometimes it sounds like "Run away your life today" or even "Fun away your life today" which doesnt make sense. "Run away from your life today" would make a bit more sense, possibly, but also be impossible (unless it's supposed to be like running away from your job or duties?).
