zengarOkay, that was I believe the third song I've heard that swap around the phrase "as ye sow, so shall ye reap" because the other way fit the rhyme sceme better. Now it is also true that people frequently recapitulate the actions they themselves experienced, but that is not the meaning the songwriter was looking for, to judge by the rest of the lyrics.
Now, the thing is, I would forgive far more than this in something like bubblegum pop, becuase there the song is just supposed to sound good. But no, this song was from one of the serious genres, where everything is supposed to have meaning. I think it's because some of these genres are lacking in musical, well, music, but that's just me. But anyway, if you're going to write a song with a message, make sure your message is correct please.
I wonder what other logic errors that song may have had; I was mostly ignoring it until the almost familier phrase caught my attention.
