I Was Wrong, from White Light, White Heat, White Trash (1996)
"Mike wrote this song back in 1995 during some time he spent in New York. Looking back at Mikes life he found that while he fought hard to keep certain ideals intact, others ended up being false. Later in life, he found out a lot of things were just fucking false promises. But what Mike also realized is that blaming society isn't always the right answer. This song is about looking at where Mike was wrong. There are times in my life when Mike Ness have been an asshole and this song owns up to that. A lot of times you don't just destroy your own life, you destroy everything around you, going through other people's lives like a tornado."
