Cream - We're Going Wrong Lyrics






Please open your eyes,
Try to realise.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.

Please open your mind,
See what you can find.
I found out today we're going wrong,
We're going wrong.

We're going wrong,
We're going wrong,
We're going wrong.

Cream We're Going Wrong Comments
  1. A.... P....

    .....in the small town, near Everett Washington, a group of thugs, high school sophomores, listened to this on the JUKE BOX, in a tiny hole in the wall Burger Joint called ' TINY'S. So cool.
    Fifty years later.... surprise, surprise, ya, shit is going wrong. We screwed the pooch....the USA dumped unionism, and the Jackasses we've elected .....I'm embarrassed ! WTF

  2. j.... m....

    Wow, physcedelia at its infancy and best. Open your mind....

  3. S.... T....

    Astonishing vocals by Bruce, and subtly brilliant tom tom creativity by Ginger. And then Clapton shows up with a restrained, lyrical solo. Good Lord.... 3 virtuosos.

    S.... T....

    That's why they were called Cream .

  4. M.... D....

    maybe the best Rock Album of all times

  5. v.... z....

    The song is one long drum lesson... Every fill in is different...

  6. �.... �....

    Πολύ μου άρεσε από παλιά αυτό το τραγούδι...

  7. S.... S....

    Miss you Ginger

  8. T.... S....

    Ginger Baker. RIP

  9. M.... L....

    Rest In Peace Ginger Baker you were truly a god on the drums fly high

  10. c.... s....

    We lost Ginger today. I take this one kinda personal. I feel like I lost an old friend. This seems like the right song tonight. There will be a tome to celebrate his life. But a little grieving comes first...So long Mate..Good sailing. I'll see you one day on the other shore. October 06 19 ...TJ STRUSKA

  11. m.... c....

    R I P Ginger Baker ⚘🌹🎼🥁🎶🙏

  12. L.... W....

    RIP Ginger. Another legend gone. Gran Ma got me into Cream when I was groin up. Always loved their laid black bluesy style.

  13. A.... F....

    R.I.P. Ginger.... :(

  14. A.... F....

    RIP Ginger. Crazy drummer, spine-tingling song.

  15. M.... C....

    The beautiful sweet voice of the great Jack Bruce.

    M.... C....

    It is ironic that a great bass player could have such a hauntingly beautiful voice .
    Jack was a tenor in his vocal range and could sing falsetto as in this song , so
    high . The other irony is that the song is not about the world , but Jack wrote the
    lyrics is his head after having an argument with his then wife Janet . Jack has
    said that several times in interviews . Check out the Disreali Gears classic album
    TV show . He sets the record straight . I have all his albums , most are really
    great , but can be an acquired taste , it took years to collect them . Cheers .

    M.... C....

    @Pablo Pistacio I figured the song to be aimed at a relationship. Thank You so much for taking the time to respond. Happy Holidays.

  16. S.... S....

    RIP Ginger.

  17. J.... J....

    RIP Ginger Baker

  18. s.... ....

    RIP ginger baker- have always loved your drumming on this song

  19. B.... &....

    *** R.I.P. Ginger Baker ***
    The first record I ever bought Disraeli Gears, I bought because of this number, a deeply brilliant number with great vocals, guitar and brilliant drumming from the man himself. Rest in Rock Heaven my friend.

  20. K.... H....

    Ginger Baker has died along with another part of my youth what a fantastic band Cream Were.

    K.... H....

    Great musicians ...and great times for music....!!! That was the most creative era ......!!!

  21. P.... G....

    RIP Ginger Baker

  22. M.... S....

    At this time ginger is in the hospital critically ill, i dont know if he will be okay or not. But he was one of the best jazz drummers on this planet and if and when he does go to the plains of africa in the sky there will be a big hole left on music forever. Even though as i write this ginger is still with us he will be missed dearly when he goes

  23. C.... S....

    Trippy song. Had the album for years but just heard it for the first time.

    I heard it before but didn’t really “hear it “.

  24. S.... T....

    Genius level drumming and stunning falsetto vocals, plus Slowhand doing his usual lyrical flights.

  25. t.... t....

    Esta canção e dance the night away, são...simplesmente sublimes

  26. D.... W....

    Jack bruce.

    D.... W....

    What a voice .

  27. S.... B....

    6/8 time is a bitch to master

  28. J.... B....

    One of my favorites from this album!

  29. A.... J....

    Woman tone............fat and warm!!!!

  30. P.... F....

    Jack Bruce , who wrote and sang the song has said more than
    once that is not about the state of the world , but he had an
    argument with his then wife , Janet , and stormed off in a
    huff and wrote the song in his head . It is purely coincidental
    that everyone thought the song was about some deep thing
    about the human race or something . It just fitted in 1967 .
    With Vietnam and all that Cold War stuff .

    P.... F....

    Yes , this is absolutely right .

  31. e.... f....

    Creme d'le creme! —perhaps the perfect song..

  32. J.... C....

    I like this track.... however I always felt it never had that punch....it's def Cream

  33. U.... Y....

    Please open your eyes.
    Try to realize.
    I found out today we're going wrong,
    We're going wrong.
    Please open your mind.
    See what you can find.
    I found out today we're going wrong,
    We're going wrong.
    We're going wrong.
    We're going wrong.
    We're going wrong.

  34. E.... l....

    I miss your talent Jack!

  35. M.... A....

    Over a half century after first hearing this and it is still genius. Thanks mates.

  36. R.... ....

    LIsten up dumb people who love rap and hip hop. This is music, this is art.

  37. D.... O....

    I saw them at the Santa Monica Civic .. 1968 or 69 ... excellent show one of the best I have ever seen

  38. D.... S....

    Someone should make a clip for this joint putting war Clips in it from ww1 till today in chronological order to the climax of the Song.

    D.... S....

    Or what's going on with the world today

  39. T.... G....

    I can play the chords , but can’t play the lead solo . Eric is very unique and notes are deeply emotional

  40. w.... ....

    They played this at Madison Square Garden, 10/25/05, when I saw them....Eric lit on fire on the lead break, and stayed that way the rest of the show.

  41. B.... ....

    this needs to be fast
    2x

  42. l.... ....

    Definitely like the percussion bass and guitar on this song. Especially the percussion. Song gets pumped up to 11 on my headphones.

  43. l.... a....

    When drums replace lead guitar! A mesmerizing song!

  44. S.... ....

    When drugs and the mind collide...

  45. l.... ....

    Ginger Baker...the 2nd best rock drummer of all time (Moon the Loon being best) and the last man on earth that you'd expect to reach 70.

    l.... ....

    Ginger Baker owned Keith Moon.

  46. A.... M....

    1:54

    Damn...

  47. M.... C....

    Superb! First time that heard it was a cover by John Frusciante (live)

  48. n.... ....

    Probably the best track Cream ever recorded, and one I absolutely loved when I first bought the Disraeli Gears Album in 1968. Still sounds Brilliant today in fact......

  49. f.... ....

    Goth blues

  50. t.... g....

    Ginger Baker's finest moment !!

  51. R.... B....

    Arguably the greatest track of the 60s. Sublime drums, bass, guitar and vocals.

  52. t.... ....

    One of the lesser-known (or perhaps less-remembered) cuts from one of the Greatest Rock LP's of all time (it's on my own Top-Ten List), by one of the Greatest Rock Bands of All Time.
    Everything that made Cream superior is contained in this track:
    Compositional and Lyrical Intelligence...
    ...and the virtuosity of Baker, Bruce, and Clapton.
    At the height, at the heyday of Psychedelia, what do these three virtuosic geniuses record?
    A WALTZ.

    t.... ....

    Speed it up & it's a polka.

  53. J.... L....

    Absolute poppycock and balderdash.

  54. A.... ....

    Did this came out before empty space??

    A.... ....

    hey I noticed the resemblence too

  55. J.... B....

    Excellent!

    J.... B....

    i could use these guys shit for tooth paste ?

  56. j.... m....

    sounds like jumbo jet. going higher and higher

  57. B.... S....

    Brilliant song and so descriptive.

  58. F.... C....

    Jack's vocals are other worldly.

  59. �.... G....

    Hallottam már őket, de nagyon régen. Úgy rémlik, nagy sikerrel játszottak. Köszönöm Katika!

  60. a.... a....

    The most intense song they ever recorded. If you cannot relate to this song your soul is dead.

    a.... a....

    Do leftist cucks have souls?

    a.... a....

    Agree completely.The only other band ,of this era,that has a song as poignant and arresting is Jefferson Airplane's "Today"

    a.... a....

    Así es!!

  61. M.... M....

    This song gives me chills EVERY time I hear it. Amazing!

  62. n.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsMLWPD2No0.........Just Stunning...

  63. n.... ....

    Fantastic Track on a Brilliant Album, probably the most powerful track I ever heard as a Kid, and it made me realise the emotion that Music can bring out of people......Still Sounds Fantastic Today.........

  64. R.... D....

    Like Sergio Leone on mescaline

  65. S.... ....

    That first E minor chord on the guitar...man it just reverberates with utter despair.

  66. m.... ....

    Brilliant vocals, brilliant drums, and gloriously restrained guitar perfection

    m.... ....

    All that controlled fury ,there, just below the surface stay in the background as counterpoint to the heavy,simple message.

  67. D.... ....

    What a beautiful voice , really makes the song

  68. A.... ....

    this should be the theme song for all democrats, liberals, progressives, leftists, socialists, commies ,neo cons, and globalists.

  69. L.... F....

    Heart-rendingly gorgeous...what a fine tune.

  70. A.... P....

    Few if any other 3 piece bands could pull this one off like this. For starters, they wouldn't touch 6/4 time with a bargepole.

  71. M.... W....

    This is absolutely my favourite & iconic Cream song. It is mesmerizing and hypnotic . Thank you for sharing! It so takes me back to a different time and space.

    M.... W....

    mine too.

  72. r.... ....

    Damn forgot all about this song. Im watching Royal Albert concert and saying I know this song been about 15 years. Awesome tune

  73. A.... A....

    Sorry folks, Eric Clapton is overrated. This is one of my favorite Cream songs.

    A.... A....

    Buzzweenie 2049 like fuck he is. Try playing like him

    A.... A....

    Clapton is damn good but he's overrated to be a god

    A.... A....

    Jimi Hendrix disagreed with you (I think he probably knew as much about guitar as you). He dug Eric heavily and vice-versa. He only agreed to come to England and be managed by Chas Chandler if he would intro him to EC. He first plugged into Marshalls when EC let him sit in with Cream as a favor to Chas (Jimi was the only man Cream ever allowed to sit in). This was before Jimi formed the Experience. Wonder where he got the idea for a power trio and using Marshalls? By the way, Roger Waters was there that night and his biggest impression was the power of EC and Cream. Jimi says he first heard a wah wah when EC used it on Tales of Brave Ulysses. He often paid tribute to EC and Cream from the stage (check it out on youtube video of Jimi on the Lulu show). Till the sudden end of his life he spoke of founding an Electric Church commune with EC and Steve Winwood and a few others he admired greatly. By 1968 Cream was the most critically acclaimed and highest drawing live group in the world. And EC was at least as acclaimed as Jimi. I saw Cream Nov 3 1968 and the Experience May 16/17 1969, both at the Baltimore Civic Center. Cream was $8 top ticket and my front row center Jimi ticket was $6.50. These were the two concerts that most impacted me, along with the Beatles Aug 15 1966. Jimi and EC were equally great in their own unique way: Jimi was the flashier soloist, EC was the better improviser, interacting in an organic, "telepathic" way with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. By the time of his death Jimi was going through an artistic decline with Cry of Love lp and the sludgy Band of Gypsys. Eric was soaring with the great Blind Faith and Derek and the Dominoes. But Jimi's death turned him into martyr/legend. Though he was truly great, his worshippers, especially those too young to have been around then, have a distorted view of that era and of Jimi vis-à-vis Eric. In 1969 Britain's top Rock Music Poll picked Cream the best group, Eric, Jack, and Ginger the best on their instruments, and Jack Bruce the top vocalist of 1968 (the year of Wheels of Fire and Electric Ladyland).

    A.... A....

    Keep it to yourself.

  74. P.... F....

    This is what Grizzly Bear is trying to achieve...50 years later!!!

  75. A.... A....

    One of my favorite Cream songs. Just beautiful.

  76. F.... S....

    all top notch musicians what would you expect from Clapton

  77. G.... M....

    what key is this song in?

    G.... M....

    Probably only Jack and Eric know . Great singing from Jack .

  78. T.... ....

    Ginger really Shines on this song,sound can show His influences of Max Roach who once called Him a "White nigga"!

  79. P.... T....

    RIP Jack Bruce

  80. T.... W....

    Brilliant!

  81. J.... E....

    Allow me to fall into the depths of your eyes. My journey will find a broken lock to your dreams that were meant for me. 30 years later, im but a blank page

    J.... E....

    Joe Escobar WARNING STAY AWAY FROM THE BROWN ACID !

  82. S.... G....

    This is a perfect song. Still relevant as ever.

  83. T.... G....

    v common chord seq. Em,Fsharp minor, G, Fsharp minor. 1,11,111. "beat it" M Jackson;(transc.) "Riders on the storm"; "My favourite things"(jazz). Love that 9th int. again. hubris and doom

    T.... G....

    Tim Garden. Are those the actual guitar chords for this song ?

  84. W.... O....

    Still got the LP,,, playing bass for 52 years,,, this is where I cut my teeth in the 60's

  85. M.... S....

    I'm so glad I like this. I'm so glad

  86. D.... A....

    CLASSIC!!!

  87. S.... W....

    Masterpiece!!!

  88. m.... ....

    Ginger is at his finest here, every phrase different, no repeats

    m.... ....

    Yep, his tom rolls sound so simple yet they give the song such a powerful display of mystique.

    m.... ....

    He was a jazz drummer at his core. That's how Ginger and John Bonham are both geniuses but totally different.

    m.... ....

    @Chris Rutherford Ginger Baker would've punched you in the face for that.

  89. H.... A....

    More than a sentiment about a love , like a commentary on the world condition... Pls open your mind... See...

    H.... A....

    It can perfectly go with love as my personal experience can attest, but agree with you it's much more wider. Just look at the forest and not just a tree. Thoughtful comment indeed.

    H.... A....

    That is what is so great about this particular song.You would naturally think it applies to the condition of the earth , the warring factions/religious/political systems.But no-Jack said it was about a love that had gone bad.There you go ,and we've all been "there" .

  90. K.... ....

    Brilliant song on a brilliant LP

  91. A.... d....

    Godlike song, just love the percussion, mesmerising.

  92. s.... p....

    melancholy :(

  93. B.... m....

    Prelude to Spoonfull

  94. v.... ....

    Gingah Bruce n Clapton on Sunday-Im goin Rite.

  95. R.... ....

    I hate hearing this song....because it takes me days to get it out of my head.

    R.... ....

    Ronman189 I think you should listen to Robin Trower “ I Can’t Wait Much Longer “ Winterland 1975

    R.... ....

    Trevor Graham Welch or that Robin Trower - Bridge of Sighs. Wowawaowowawawowaa haha

    R.... ....

    I love this song

  96. F.... P....

    The percussion, that voice, those lyrics...haunts me always

  97. S.... t....

    yes we are

    S.... t....

    Sherry Salzman my thoughts exactly after today

  98. m.... y....

    That mallet work by Ginger...amazing

  99. T.... B....

    Friend: "You messed up your pie recipe. You forgot to put whip cream inside."
    (cues this song)

  100. l.... ....

    when rock wanted to change the world

    l.... ....

    Hey, I got hit in the back, yet because I was listed a republican I had to pay $120,000.00 ? Not my fault, yet I pay and the sharks keep frenzy on me. Next I will lose my home of 38 years. What is going wrong in this country? My attorney said here is $3,000. Get something for your kid that’s getting married. —-True!

    l.... ....

    Just as relevant today, a love going wrong, a country going wrong, a world going wrong.

    l.... ....

    lokotron1 when music changed the world my friend. The music coming from our coloured brothers was changing attitudes in USA

    l.... ....

    @mark1952able no Sherlock, buddy.

    l.... ....

    I believe Rock to this day STILL wants to change the world
