"Monkey Wrench"

What have we done with innocence?

It disappeared with time, it never made much sense

Adolescent resident

Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten

One in ten

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench

One more indecent accident

I'd rather leave than suffer this

I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends

What do you do when all your enemies are friends?

Now and then I'll try to bend

Under pressure, wind up snapping in the end

One in ten

One in ten

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench

One more indecent accident

I'd rather leave than suffer this

I'll never be your monkey wrench

Temper

Temper

Temper

One last thing before I quit

I never wanted any more than I could fit

Into my head

I still remember every single word you said

And all the shit that somehow came along with it

Still there's one thing that comforts me

Since I was always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench

One more indecent accident

I'd rather leave than suffer this

I'll never be your monkey wrench

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)

Don't want to be your monkey wrench (fall in, fall out)

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
