“I was wrong” – Social Distortion – Live at the Roxy

Here I am sitting in the library trying to finalize our group paper or International Bizz.  Work + iTunes = procrastination.  I was browsing another iTunes shared library named “lammaskoira” when I ran across this song.  This album used to be in my truck’s CD player almost nonstop 10 years ago.  (I feel old)  Sums up how I’ve been feeling this year.

Well, when I was younger, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, held back the tears
It was me against the world, I was sure that I’d win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
I felt so alone, so insecure,
I blamed you instead and made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn’t hear what they had to say

I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong

And I think about my loves, well I’ve had a few
I’m sorry that I hurt them, did I hurt you too?
I took what I wanted, put my heart on the shelf
But, how can you love when you don’t love yourself?
It was me against the world, I was sure that I’d win
But the world fought back, punished me for my sins
And they tried to warn me of my evil ways
But I couldn’t hear what they had to say

I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong
I was wrong Ya!
I was wrong

Well I grew up fast, I grew up hard
something was wrong from the very start
I was fighting everybody, I was fighting everything
but the only one that I hurt was me
I got “society’s” blood running down my face,
Somebody help me get outta this place
How could someone’s bad luck last so long?
until I realized that I was wrong
(Guitar Solo)

I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong, I realized now that I was wrong,
I was wrong, self destruction’s got me again
I was wrong, the only one that I hurt was me,
I was wrong
