Depeche Mode

Wrong

2009

Written by Martin L. Gore

Produced by Ben Hillier

Lyrics

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy I took the wrong road That led to the wrong tendencies I was in the wrong place at the wrong time For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme On the wrong day of the wrong week Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically Something wrong with me inherently The wrong mix in the wrong genes I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means It was the wrong plan in the wrong hands The wrong theory for the wrong man The wrong eyes on the wrong prize The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong

Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum With the wrong scum Pissing out the wrong energy Using all the wrong lines And the wrong signs With the wrong intensity I was on the wrong page of the wrong book With the wrong rendition of the wrong look With the wrong moon every wrong night With the wrong tune playing till it sounded right, yeah

Wrong

Wrong

Too long Wrong Too long Wrong Too long Wrong Too long Wrong Too long

I was born with the wrong sign In the wrong house With the wrong ascendancy (Too long) I took the wrong road That led to the wrong tendencies (Too long) I was in the wrong place at the wrong time For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme (Too long) On the wrong day of the wrong week I used the wrong method with the wrong technique
