Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
""Blue Morning, Blue Day""
The Lyrics: "You hear me talk, but you don't hear what I say.
I guess it don't even matter." Why: It don't even matter should be it doesn't even matter. I suppose they needed three syllables in there - don't even- but wouldn't it have worked just as well to say "it doesn't matter" and drag the doesn't out a little bit to make up for the third syllable. There's never any good reason to say "it don't matter" unless you are trying to sound like an uneducated hick.
