Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Rythm Syndicate

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, Rythm Syndicate

Check out the index.

Rythm Syndicate's, "P.A.S.S.I.O.N."
The Lyrics:
I try to cool the fire, fire! Like I oughta should, but it's too late to turn back, the S-E-X is just too good.
Why:
I'm not usually one to complain about grammar in song lyrics but this one really bugs me and sticks out like a sore thumb. Never mind I think it's weird they repeat the word "fire" in this line. But then they have this awful "oughta should" in there. Number one, ought and should basically mean the same thing so that's redundant. Number two, "Like I know I should" would've worked just fine and been grammatically correct. I can't figure out why they went with saying "oughta should" that just makes it sound like it was written by a 10 year old. But whatever I've never liked the song anyways.
