[Intro]
Wrong
Wrong

[Verse 1]
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
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

[Chorus]
Wrong
Wrong

[Interlude]
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

[Verse 3]
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
The wrong moon, every wrong night
With the wrong tune playing till it sounded right, yeah

[Chorus]
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

[Interlude]
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

[Verse 1]
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
I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

[Chorus]
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong

[Outro]
Wrong

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
