Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What have we done with innocence?
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge
[PreChorus]
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
One in ten
One in ten
One in ten
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Temper
Temper
Temper
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
