I read the whole diatribe at least three times before responding.

The grammar pedantry is just silly, it's fucking song lyrics, have you listened to music before? Read a poem? Liberties are taken, and that's that.

the reason the line is repeated so often is because it is unique and atypical (deriving from its "poor grammar"), and therefore recognizable

Try it out - "some cops are kkk members." Not as catchy or iconic, sorry.

All they had to add was the word "in"; barely a silly bull

"Some of those that work in forces, are the same that burn crosses"

But noooo that would be too much work!

Well, let me tell you sonny jim, no revolution is won by laziness! Anyone whose played Dance Dance Revolution can tell you that.

Having the wrong meter is worse than having colloquial grammar.

Are you trying to be amusing here? Because it's not working.

Did you just end a sentence with a presupposition, knave?
