I Was Wrong

When I was young, I was so full of fear
I hid behind anger, and held back the tears
It was me against the world; I was sure I would win
But the world fought back; punished me for my sins
Well, I felt so alone; so insecure
But I blamed you instead; made sure I was heard
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 realize 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?
Well, 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
They tried to warn me of my evil way
But I couldn't hear what they had to say
I was wrong...
Self-destruction's got me again
I was wrong...
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong...
I was wrong...
Well, I grew up fast, and 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 out of this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long
Until I realized that I was wrong

EDITORS’ NOTES

After releasing a string of highly acclaimed rockabilly-inflected albums in the late '80s and early '90s, Social Distortion returned to its hardcore roots with 1996’s White Light, White Heat, White Trash (a play on the Velvet Underground’s seminal 1968 album White Light/White Heat). The brand of California punk rock that Social Distortion had helped invent had found massive success in the form of The Offspring and Green Day, while leader Mike Ness had rediscovered his own punk roots with the archival release Mainliner. All these factors conspired to create songs like “Don’t Drag Me Down,” “Through These Eyes,' and “Down on the World Again,” which combine the pathos of Ness’ voice with the throttling attack of classic punk. Producer Michael Beinhorn (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soul Asylum, Soundgarden) gave the music a dense and heavy sound that made Ness and his band appear like wizened troubadours. Where other punk bands jacked up the tempos for effect, the songs here with the strongest impact are purposefully slow, as in “When the Angels Sing,” “Dear Lover,' and the hit single “I Was Wrong.”
