Lyrics:
Oh, when I was young
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, made sure I was heard
And they tried to warn me
Of my evil ways
But I wouldn'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
This is my recovery song. 13 years clean and sober, but I never forget where I came from. Hearing this song live is a true gift!
4 days today 😬
@@GavySunner that's AMAZING!!!! I found that committing to 1 day at a time was really helpful. I know the struggle, and I send you my love and support ❤
YEAH! Congrats! I have 10 years under my belt.
That's awesome on both of you! I've had brothers that were sick.
Keep it up sweet people!
Sitting in the hospital fighting for my life with bone cancer right listening to this. This is my life story in just few minutes
Stay strong brother, sending love and positive vibes your way.
😢❤
May God bless you 🙏
Good luck man!
God bless you mate. Hope you recover fully soon and listen to the mighty Mike NESS for many more years.
Mike Ness is badass. And the drummer is flat out KILLING IT.
That would be Deen Castronovo, Journey's current drummer and sometime lead vocalist.
2 years clean from
Heroin yesterday. I was wrong. I’m happy. Life is good. Thank you for this song.
Good for you !!! I wish you nothing but good things.
Hopefully you made 3

@@Rhinovirus666 Epic. Fantastic!
You still good Mike?
Rooting for you
This song hits deep.. humble yourself and admit your faults. This is real music! Rock on Social Distortion!! 🤘🏻
Good comment man. I'm trying to be less driven by my own ego and anger and instead just live. Too many angry people nowadays and I dont want to be like that anymore.

Some one once told me real music is like opening a nerve that definitely rings true with this song
This song hits so much differently at 45, than it did at 18.
it really does
I'm 41 and I haven't done anything with my life.
@MadTechMetal Damn, I was thinking same thing. Got first Social Distortion tattoo 30! years ago last week. Then thinking where I was when this album came out. To where I am now. I was 18 then and 45 now. Things are so different.
@@straycat62 18 to 45 is only 27 years, not 30.
@@James-if3kcSame age, same feeling. If only we could go back but we can't. It's hard to accept what we can't change for the better.
Prison, addiction, homelessness, this was always a light guiding me through the darkness. Thanks mike
Loser
Whatever that darkness may be.
Love you brutha. Keep up the good fight.
😮keep looking up man, the torture is over,,,,it does stop .
Jesus is where the torture stops
Everytime I've done some bullshit, or said stupid things to people I love, I come back to this song and think about myself and what went wrong. This song helped me so often to calm down and see things from the right angle. Be a man and admit that you were wrong, dont let your inner demons win.
Amen
One of my favorite memories as a Dad is playing this song in Rock Band with my son on guitar and me on lead and together nailing those harmonies on the shared microphone. A great song made all the greater by a fantastic memory.
TonyBone21 man, me too. Didn’t remember til recently that this song was in there. The new rock band has sucky songs, all the good ones you gotta pay money for.
This was my first song on Expert difficulty. It was fun while feeling sad at the lyrics I was memorizing since I started playing it first time. Oh the PSP days
Sweet !
I thought you were talking about having a rock band with him in it at first
Its beautiful song
there's not enough words to describe how much I love this band.
Same. I was blessed enough to see them love twice ❤️❤️❤️
What he said. One fuck of a good band.
Just living a Social Distortion album!
Put them up with the Clash as the best live band i ever seen ! Class act !☘️
mr ness is a god. the rock n roll put crap in thier hof this man and band should be inducted
21 years clean I'm 56 🎉
Mike ness is a very underrated songwriter his lyrics are spot on
I agree 100%
@@jimmyfarmerjr4277 Mikes not that under rated were all here listening.
Well said man. The more I listen to these guys the better they get.
True great music like many classic. This song finding it hard to exist today because everyone out there is pointing fingers at others. Exspecialy with today's narratives. I'll admit I been very wrong at times in my life no one pecfect. I however I am very happy I am learning from my mistakes.
Mike bares his soul....good and bad. I respect and admire that in him. He's got good pipes too, and love his Les Pauls!
As old as this video is, I still find it terrifyingly good. Am i the only one? The overall look, the performance, Mike Ness's look at the time.... all just seem amazing. This band is truly one of the best going. they have stood the test of time and are as good today, if not better, than they ever were.
Your not the only one. This is great...
You are NOT the only one. I agree completely.
Everything about this song and video holds up so well!!
I wasn’t too impressed when I first heard this album. It wasn’t the “old” Social D I was used to hearing. Hands down, it’s my favorite album from them now!
great video.i wish there was nothing more than just the band playing. i also love when Mike scrolls his hand and sings"i got societies blood running down my face"what a great line and what a gestrure.Mike is a GOD.
Sometimes it's just nice to know your not alone. This song got me through hard times. Sometimes a song is just a song. For me this song is more that that.
Same here
Absolutely ❤
Opened up for these guys. In '96, in Belgium. Still to this day, their live attitude and sound was above all. Nice guys too. Best gig I ever experienced.
what band were was that?
@@mikeferguson5935 Venue was the VK in Brussels. Our band was called Void Section...
A long time ago, I had to spend a night in jail. When I got out the next day, I went home, turned on the TV, and this video was playing. Ever since then I always felt that social distortion talks to me in their songs.
Hell yeah, they do! A lot of good men get lost in the system, while evil bastards rule the streets.
@@GenX4Life Fact! Its all sex and drugs nowadays and gang banging and thats all my generation listens to... thank god i found punk music through my dad and my buddy. Im 27.
This song gives me goose bumps can be the story of anyones life at some point,
very poetic.

Scot Morley welcome to the genius, and humility of Mike Ness 🤘😎
Grew up with Social Distortion, and it has been the story often, including now. Getting I Was Wrong tattooed here Saturday.
Social D got me through so much trouble as a teen. No other band seemed to sing directly to me and my personal issues. Love this band, they are the soundtrack of my life.
saw athing where a guy said the Smiths were the soundtrack of his youth. that is one messed childhood.
I love Mike Ness. Not just for his music, but for standing up for what he believes despite losing listeners who think he's wrong.
Indeed, I read about him actually getting harassed by a Trumpster Fire while performing a concert with Social D, let's just say that if this is indeed true, that fuckwad who dared to harass Mike Ness got exactly what they deserved.
I have his both solo albums - each is fucking great.
Chuck Biscuits was a beast, saw this line-up live and couldn't believe a drummer could have so much leadership and presence
No one can pound it like he did. No one.
Favorite Drummer to this day.
Saw Chuck Biscuits on the DANZIG Lucifuge 2....his drum stool was high and drum kit was as low it could go..
..he was pushing the sticks through the skins.....Black Flag, DANZIG and Social Distortion.
And just how good he was with Danzig, Glenn was stupid for letting him go.
Man this guy is good. His music really touches people's heart.
37, hits home.
I've done some stupid things in the past. People have walked in and outta my life for the better.
I'm in a good place these days.
Love this song, it's always played round my place loud
I was wrong too! I loved this song from the day it was released! I'm glad you are making a comeback!
I listen to this song any time I need a good kick in the ass.
But you were wrong to do so! ;p
Still pull it out when I need lined out🤘🏼
..and i Hope you find some kind of comfort knowing that u are not the only one.. jajajajaja 😉
Q;Why is Social D one of the greatest rock bands ever? A:Because Mike writes songs that are about REAL LIFE that the working man can realate to!!!!!!
He’s the punk Bruce Springsteen
redshaftedflicker yup
shut up you a rich man
@@mikethegrunty5968 Holy shit, I've been saying this for years, Mike is what Bruce wants to be.
Orxbane I’ve thought that since I first heard story of my life
Hearing this song is such a breath of fresh air. Way too many songs out there where the protagonist is the victim, which isn't inherently bad but we need more lyrics about owning one's mistakes! This band has earned itself a new fan.
The Voice Of Generation X Right There
So true man! It's more than a song it's an anthem for our generation
Only truly authentic people can admit when they're wrong. Great song. Unbelievable lyrics.
Exactly!
Publicly admitting you were wrong and then owning it….requires big balls!
One of their best songs. Saw them perform at CBGB's in NYC back in the day. Powerful band.
Jealous. That must have been very badass.
VERY Jealous

Carl buddy...you missed the point of this song totally.
@@joshdruen7476 word
its around addiction
F yeah man!
The guy was gifted with this talent for a reason... to get the rest of us to learn from his mistakes... some of us were just young and dumb and it took years for us to get the messages he was putting out there.
I just found Ness, what a gem, songwriter, player, singer...he wraps it all up.
This is the perfect song for my youth in the military back in 99,
mike ness is going through cancer. give him our love and prayers
Just saw him in concert! He didn’t play this song, though I’m glad he’s still going strong and touring again!
WHOOP WHOOP
Saw social and bad religion in st Augustine Florida. Both never missed a single beat. Mikes son opened with his band and they were great too!
omg i missed you- you stupidly awesome song..now i found you again..ill never ever let you go
When I was 17 I thought I knew everything. When I hit 30 I realized I didn't know shit. Now I'm 40 and the only wisdom I have is the wisdom to know that I don't know everything.

This song has so much meaning, got me through some hard times in life, and basically makes one take a good look at themselves. Truly soulful music that hits like a freight train. This is as real as it gets.
Im, Cora is mom.
Amen brother
This song makes me want to apologize to a few people that were in my life in the late 1980's and early 1990's. It was me all along.
Copy bro. Same here....
Go for it ,set youre self free .
Damn going through the same shit as you
Me
70s till 2000 I hear you
After crawling out of the dark this song found me. God bless this band and song
This song legitimately changed my life. Headed down a stupid, self-centered and self-destructive path until I realized that (to be cliche), I was wrong. Never looked back except to say I was sorry and always crank this to the max whenever it comes on.
Mike Ness invented himself - and a whole towering, enduring genre besides. Beautiful, fierce and brilliant force of nature.
mike and them boys still rock. 30 years strong
Mike Ness is like my generations Johnny Cash. His songs have such a sting of authenticity.
Damn, its refreshing these days to see true artists - that is, ones that still write & perform music that matters: lyrics with real meaning. Kudos.
There are some days that some songs cannot be played loud enough: this is one of those days, and THAT is one of those songs. Aim the speakers up and tear a hole in the clouds crossing the sky.
I love this song. It's one of the most sentimental songs I've ever heard. It's very personal. It always brings me tears in my eyes... Very underrated song.
Best band I ever seen live and I seen the Clash ☘️
Social Distortion's music is very relatable. They don't sugarcoat it. It's straight, blunt, truthful, and to the point, and I have a lot of respect for that. I Was Wrong is a great song that sounds amazing, and it's one of several Social Distortion songs that I love and can relate to. Social Distortion has always been one of my favourite bands, and they always will be too. 🎶🎸
Punk rock for blue collar people
To say it's a great song is an understatement. The music, the lyrics and how well the song is performed are all great. The majority of today's music pales in comparison.
I wouldn't call today's "music".....music. THIS is music.
RIP Dennis. We miss you, mate.
I love Mike Ness's guyliner. Everything else about him, too.
WeAreAllOne ExceptForThatGuy I like his tattoos the most
I fkn miss you Dad... I don't care how bad it got in the end! I MISS YOU!
My best bro died in his sleep 5 months ago and I never knew a bigger fan of SD… miss him so much and I thank you for ball and chain…
that part in the second verse kinda hit me...
"How can you love when you don't love yourself?"
I ask myself that question sometimes....Great song, nonetheless
+Brian Jules drink until
👍🍻
+Brian Jules get over it. love somebody, it leads to liking what you're doing, which breeds self respect and then, self love. try it, you'll like it. lol
I heard this years ago. I'm 58 now but your right. Did Curt Cobain feels this? I'm the type of guy who could have all the money in the world and still not be happy. Its not the cash its the someone that cares for you.
Sound in theory but in practicality, not so much.
One must do for themselves before they can do for others is far more accurate. Thing is, the heart wants what the heart wants but it is usually our minds that tell our hearts to fuck off. The mind can be swayed, the heart is much more difficult.
For those who don't understand what I am saying...
You can love others without loving yourself; the bullshit people say that defies this core logic is the nature of humans dominating other humans.
Yeah, let's just not go there, because I'm providing you all the view of humanity from the eyes of a deity now.
dayum! This takes me back to my late teens. Now in my 40's and so glad that I made it. Now so lucky to have lived through those days and have a loving family with no care in the world.
I'm a Newport Beach Native ( 1966 ) ..Met Mike In Costa Mesa in the early 80's ..What A Cool Dude .. Will Listen To Social " D " Till I'm Dead ..
If this song reminds you of yourself and you find yourself here you have a good ❤, Just move Forward and make tomorrow better.
Ah the feels. Still gives me goosebumps.
Anyone remember 120 minutes, Alternative Nation, HeadBangers Ball & liquid television?
Man, I’m getting old.
This dude is kick ass.
Loud, hard, uncompromised,bombastic maximum rock and roll...Mike Ness style!!!!
Quite some years ago, my father played that song for me from tape in his car over and over, again.. Meanwhile, I think I exactly know, why.. And besides: It was the total ignition of young Konstantin raising interest for this outstanding band. Social D is simply one of the most important, musical influences of my adolescence and nowadays one of my all-time-favorites. Thanks for that, Mike and folks.
I'm getting old... "The only person I hurt was myself" means a lot more now than it did when it came out in 1996 when I was new to the streets of Toronto at 15 yrs old.
This should have been a monster hit.
My love for Alternative Music was born from this song. Social D Rocks!!!!
When I was a teenager my grades sucked. I didn’t have any communication or relationship with my dad and my mom was in and out of rehab. School failed me and I didn’t understand the point at all. I enjoyed testing authority and got arrested a few times with no respect for rules as long as I wasn’t hurting anybody. But I had a punk rock band. I felt like this song really got me at that time. Thank God I had my band and music to get me through it.
I absolutely love Social D!!!!! True Punk Rock!
OMG man, I never was punk...I'm 49 and found punk music 10-12 years ago. There's nothing better and no better band than Mike Ness and Social Distortion. I'd love to see them live. Best music ever, wish I would have found it sooner. You said it all man "Sometimes i want to break stuff, other times cry." Taking long walks with my headphones on and Social Distortion cranked to the max....closest thing to heaven on earth.
I saw them open for the Ramones back in 1994, I was 18 and in LOVE w/ Mike. I did meet him thanks to Dickie from the Mighty Mighty Bosstones. Best memories!
@@heatherhalligan142 Man im jelly i would of loved to see the ramones! i was born in 95 lol
Self destruction has me again, currently. Need to hear this song every once in awhile. Thanks Mike.
Soc D is a absolutely awesome band, kinda reminds me of the Ramones in the sense of how underrated both bands were
My friend got me into SD a little while ago. They’re not what I typically listen to, but what I really appreciate about them is how honest and stripped down their lyrics are. I’ve heard many songs about hardships and feeling like you just wanna give up, and with SD, this is coming from a guy who knows just what it’s like to struggle. It’s no secret that Ness had a heroin addiction that almost derailed his life in the 80s. In fact, it’s one of the first things I learned about him. And I’ve had my share of hardships being a high schooler during Covid, which obliterated my social life. I’m telling you, he has a powerful voice
Awesome to to know that younger folk are listening to SD!
@@josephlagundo5970 I’m even going to a concert this spring and can’t wait
this was my fathers favorite band ... this song helps me cope with my loss of him... social d jams so hard
This kicks ass, their best song, imo.
When I discovered Social Distortion years after I got out of high school in 2018, discovering this song in 2022 playing on MTV Classic... it brought me back to one of my biggest regrets of my life...
Being the rebel in middle school that didn’t care what most teachers had to say and just kept to myself just to pass and go up a grade. Man, I was shellfish!
I'd got kicked out of an advanced reading class (not even lasting a week) because I refused to read a book she picked out for me. I never asked to be in that class when I was already in a simpler reading class, but I faced the consequences when I rebelled that advanced reading teacher.
That is my biggest regret and an example of angst getting the better of me.
Temazo !!!!!!
Grande Social Distortion
Saludos desde Temuco-Chile.
After all the years, they still keep the same sound. I love it.
thanks SD for getting us all through many a day...cheers!
How can you love when you don't love yourself ❤
only real people own the wrong things they've done

Story of my life. I should have written it.
I know right! I wish I did also.
How can someone's luck last so long. Until I realized I was wrong. Too true
And Mike looks sooo much like the singer from Blue October that it is scary and ironic!
I first heard this song as a tatoo on a cool kid named shilo in oregon...I stopped and was like wow what an awesome tatoo and he showed me this song....well done
+Ricky Bobby probably it just said "I was wrong"
it said I was wrong at the top, got me reading then a little green man jumped onto his shoulder and recited all the lyrics which were tatooed as well I said sweet tatoo brother and continued down the yellow brick road toward the wizard

Social Distortion doesn’t get much attention (in my world, anyway) - but dang they produced some of the best music I have ever heard. This one is an anthem - up there with the best of them.
No. You need to get out more.
@@eldoabrahamson Well I do need to find other people who like hard driving rock! Gets difficult once you're a 'senior' and everyone else your age limits themselves to 60's music... But their loss, really.
Life story right here . Beaten to hell as and even strangled once as a kid . Turned to alcoholism and violence as a resort and I've learnt that truly wasn't the answer . It's not the adversity in life you face it's how you overcome it .
Mike Ness is fucking rad!
That's for sure, and hot as hell!!!!
Jenny Q I'm straight, and, hell, I'd admit that he's very handsome.
***** Yes I am. It may surprise you that it is possible for straight men to notice when other men are good-looking. A straight man would need to know who is better looking than him so that he knows whether or not to improve his personality to attract female mates.
do u beat your meat to farrgorts? that is so gey bro.
+Jenny Q
it's the makeup.
This guy is so underrated! Great music!
This world needs some more of this.... . Being able to recognize and then admitting you were wrong.... Phenomenal song!!!
Tell it!
My #1 favorite SD song! The vocals are so damn powerful, I could listen to this over and over. The drummer, Chuck Biscuits, reminds me of the drummer for Foo Fighters.
No one can slam like chuck biscuits. Saw him live on the first Danzig tour in the 80s. Mind blowing.
Chuck is a legend
He’s actually not playing on the actual studio recording. It’s Deen Castronovo, uncredited.
I love this song. Great memories and great video. Rock on!💙💚💖
I watched it again. You know why? It's fucking awesome! Mike Ness is an amazing singer, musician, and human being! Congrats an props to the whole bans. Love Social D!
Here ya !! Great band !☘️
The older I get the more I lose, the more bitter I get, I harder I get, the more humble I become as I wish my friends were really friendly and my lovers really loved me.
Because Social D lives, punk’s NOT DEAD!!! You can’t dilute the spirit of PUNK into sub genres. Punk is forever!!!
Who's head banging to this in 2019.
I still am Mike, and no doubt I'll be listening in 2020 too!
I from Chilean Patagonia!!
Haven't stopped since 1990
Me . Love this song
Yes! With a few hours left!
Very few have the guts to admit they were wrong
Today I got the title tattooed, as my reminder to be a better man. I grew up pissed off at the world, and anyone who I cared for would end up getting hurt by me in some way. It's cost me friendships, my engagement, and now I'm left back starting over again.
It's my reminder to admit when I'm wrong, stop being so angry, don't be hurtful, but heal. It took many years coming, and I'll get shit for it, but it's my most meaningful in my 40+ I've got now.
If my soul could speak this is what it would sing.
How can you love, when you don't love yourself? great lyric.
I Facking love this song, never gets old.
Struggling with sobriety now and Ness always hits home
As one also struggling I agree
Social D...can't go wrong! Great distinct tunes. Thanks.
