Includes "America Is Not The World" in the 'weren't' section. Excerpt:

What the song got wrong: America never having a black president
In what year: 2004

It was less of a prediction and more of a statement, but in 2004 on the song America Is Not The World from his You Are the Quarry album, Morrissey sang: "In America / The land of the free, they said / And of opportunity / In a just and a truthful way / But where the president, is never black, female or gay."

Now, we already know that one third of that last lyric proved to be incorrect, and come November this year America may well have its first female president.
 
Yeah more of a statement or observation that changed and not a prediction. He didn't say we wouldn't ever have a black president
 
Hillary ticks the other two boxes, female and gay. Or at least as gay as Obama is black, 50%.
