"I Was Wrong" is a song by the punk rock band, Social Distortion, originally released as a CD5 by Sony 550 Music in 1996 [ [http://www.socialdistortion.com/discography_a.html "Discography"] SocialDistortion.com. Retrieved on February 25, 2007.] . It then appeared on the studio release, "White Light, White Heat, White Trash", followed by "Live at the Roxy". The song is a playable track on "Rock Band 2".

The song is said to be a "sing-along act of contrition" [ [http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/socialdistortion/albums/album/196388/review/5944406/white_light_white_heat_white_trash "Rolling Stone: Social Distortion: White Light White Heat White Trash Music Review"] . RollingStone.com. February 2, 1998. Retrieved on February 25, 2007.] . It expresses the pain the singer feels at the negative, rebellious attitude he took toward the world when he was young, from his losing battle against society to the pains of love, and finishes with the chorus:

:"I was wrong":"Self destruction's got me again":"I was wrong":"I realize now that I was wrong."
