Social Distortion, "I Was Wrong"

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

And I think about my loves
Well, I've had a few
Well, 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 me when you don't love yourself?
It was me against the world
I was sure that I'd win
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 realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong, yeah
I was wrong

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 outta this place
How could someone's bad luck last so long?
Until I realized that I was wrong

I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
I realize now that I was wrong
I was wrong
Self destruction's got me again
I was wrong
The only moment that I was me
I was wrong

I've been thinking of King Herod's Song from Jesus Christ Superstar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6NSVrXQfvc

An alternative (didn't even have to change very much)

Travis Tygart's Song

Armstrong I am overjoyed to meet you face to face.
You've been getting quite a name all around the place.
Winning Tours, curing cancer on the side
And now I understand you're god, at least that's what’s implied.
So you are Armstrong, you're the great Lance Armstrong.
Prove to us that you were clean – That Floyd and Tyler are just mean
That's all you need to do and I'll know it's all true.
C'mon Tour de France “Champ”.

Armstrong you just won't believe the hit you've made around here.
You are all we talk about, the wonder of the year.
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie.
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try.
So you are Armstrong, you're the great Lance Armstrong.
Prove to us you won drug free – Arbitrate, and face Hincapie.
If you do that for me then I'll let you go free.
C'mon Tour de France “Champ”.

I only ask things I'd ask any superstar.
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
I am waiting, yes I'm a captive fan.
I am dying to be shown that you are not just any man.
So if you are Armstrong yes the great Lance Armstrong
Show us you are not a lie – no cover-ups from UCI
Or has something gone wrong?
Why do you take so long?
C’mon Tour de France “Champ”.

Hey! Aren't you scared of me Lance?
Mr. Wonderful Lance!
You're a joke.
You're not a god- you are nothing but a fraud.
Take him away- he's got nothing to say!
Get out you Tour de France “Cheat”!
Get out of my life!

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why they had to talk
I don't know, they wouldn't say
I did something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday sport was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Mama Tried

The first I remember knowin' was the lonesome whistle blowin'
And a youngun's dream of growin' up to ride.
On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I was bound
No one changed my mind, but mama tried.

One and only rebel child from a family meek and mild
Mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my Sunday learnin'
For the bad I kept on turnin' and mama couldn't hold me anymore.

And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied
That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried.

Dear old daddy rest his soul, left my mom a heavy load
She tried so very hard to fill his shoes
Workin' hours without rest, wanted me to have the best
Oh she tried to raise me right, but I refused.

And I turned 21 in prison, doin' life without parole
No one could steer me right, but mama tried, mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleadin' I denied
That leaves only me to blame cause mama tried.

"Once in a Lifetime," David Byrne, Brian Eno, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, performed by Talking Heads:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1wg1DNHbNU


You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
You may find yourself in another part of the world
You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
You may find yourself in a beautiful house with a beautiful wife
You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, how do I work this?
You may ask yourself, where is that large automobile?
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful house
You may tell yourself, this is not my beautiful wife
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/talking+heads/once+in+a+lifetime_20135070.html ]
Water dissolving and water removing
There is water at the bottom of the ocean
Remove the water, carry the water
Remove the water from the bottom of the ocean
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, into silent water
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
You may ask yourself, what is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself, where does that highway lead to?
You may ask yourself, am I right, am I wrong?
You may say to yourself, my god, what have I done?
Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down
Letting the days go by, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, after the money's gone
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Into the blue again, into silent water
Under the rocks and stones, there is water underground
Letting the days go by, into silent water
Once in a lifetime, water flowing underground
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was

Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us, time doesn't hold you back
Time isn't holding us, time isn't after us
Time isn't holding us...
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by, letting the days go by, once in a lifetime (?)
Letting the days go by, letting the days go by, letting the days go by, once in a lifetime

Wiggins' short memory inspired some er creativity on my part.

Sung to the tune of "Short memory", by Midnight Oil.

Festina at the Tour de France, O'Puerto and some EPO
The Belgians and their Aranesp short memory
Jose Batres dementia, the Raj of British media
The goldmine in South Africa short memory
The story of Clenbutador, the silence of the Omerta
Destruction of your innocence short memory

Short memory, must have a, short memory

The sight of hotels Tenerife, the new pros soon become the thief
With many ampules specially bought short memory
A smallish man from Kazakhstan, name your dog in a nervous land
They're only there to lend a hand short memory
With EPO from days gone by
Wake up in sweat at dead of night
And in the labs new drugs now hey short memory

If you read the history books you'll see the same things happen again and again

Short memory they've all got it
When are we going to play it again
Got a short, got a short, got a short, got a short
They've got a short must have a short they've got a short aah
Short memory, they've got a.
