Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Bon Jovi
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.

Bon Jovi's, "Blaze Of Glory"
The Lyrics:
Each night I go to bed
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
No, I ain't lookin' for forgiveness
But before I'm six foot deep
Why:
1.) "I ain't" should be "I'm not". 2) The last phrase should be "six feet deep" not "six foot deep", since "feet" is plural and Bon Jovi is singing about more than one foot.

Bon Jovi's, "Unbroken"
The Lyrics:
There ain't no angel that's coming to save me
Why:
I know that Jon's from New Jersey so that's just how people talk there but come on! He's 60 so he should know that it should be there isn't any angel that's coming to save me (it come out in 2020)
