Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Cage The Elephant
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.

Cage The Elephant's, "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked"
The Lyrics:
There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
And there ain't nothin' in this world for free
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
And there ain't nothin' in this world for free
Why:
1) "Ain't no" and "ain't nothin'" are double negatives. 2) It should be "Money DOESN'T grow on trees."
