It was the awkwardness of attempting to force a single (and singular) pronoun into the equation of a general statement. Regardless of the reason, though, it's still a grammatical error. If one doesn't wish to be considered sexist, he or she could write "him or her" instead of "them." Of course, that would disturb the meter of the song, and you're allowed to break a few grammatical rules if you have a currently valid poetic license.

Is it possible for the market to go down when they have told everyone that they can't sell only buy for 15 days?
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.
