The Wrong Song
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

we just do, what you won't do
we just do, what you won't do
he told me why, he can't play our style

we just move, while you freeze
we just move, while you freeze
he told me why, they won't play your style
we play the wrong music
we sing the wrong words
we use the wrong rhythm
and we sell the wrong shirts

we play the wrong music
we write the wrong song
and if it's not enough
we steal from old stuff

we just eat, what you don't feed
we just eat, what you don't feed
he told me why, they won't play our style

we play the wrong music
we sing the wrong words
we use the wrong rhythm
and we sell the wrong shirts

we play the wrong music
we write the wrong song
and if that's not enough
we steal from old stuff

this is the wrong song – in the wrong time
this is the wrong song – for the wrong club
this is the wrong song – for the wrong fan
this is the wrong song – doing the wrong job

we play the wrong music
we sing the wrong words
we use the wrong rhythm
and we sell the wrong shirts

we play the wrong music
we write the wrong song
and if that's not enough
we steal from old stuff

we play the wrong music
we sing the wrong words
we use the wrong rhythm
and we sell the wrong shirts

we play the wrong music
we write the wrong song
and if that's not enough
we steal from old stuff

The repetition of the phrase "we play the wrong music" emphasizes the band's insistence on playing what they believe in, regardless of whether it is popular or trendy. The lyrics suggest that the band members are fueled by a passion for their craft and the desire to make music that is meaningful and authentic. By singing "we steal from old stuff," the band acknowledges that their influences stem from a variety of sources and that their music is a product of the past as well as the present.


Overall, The Wrong Song is a powerful anthem for artists who refuse to compromise their vision or conform to industry standards. It is a reminder that true creativity comes from within and cannot be dictated by outside forces.
