Real Lyrics -> Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics -> Velvet Revolver

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, Velvet Revolver

Check out the index.


Contraband album at Amazon.com
Velvet Revolver's, "Slither"
The Lyrics:
the sins of you and I
Why:
"the sins of you and I" is using the subjective personal pronoun as the object of the preposition "of". The proper usage is the objective personal pronoun "me". The lyric should read, "the sins of you and me".
