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.

Pour le monde pas pour la guerre
It actually says, "For the world, for the war" In French, it is actually meant to mean "For the world not for the war" which is what is said in English after the French is sung.

"Well I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man."
I know what Lennon's TRYING to say, but it comes out sounding like he'd rather see his girlfriend dead than to be gay. I think this counts as bad grammar. Or at least, it's a phrase that's so awkward that its intentional meaning is lost.
