Lyrics
Monkey Wrench
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
Always time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends?
Now and then, I'll try to bend
Under the pressure, wind up snapping in the end
One in ten, one in ten, one in ten
Don't wanna 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' wanna be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench
Don't' wanna be your monkey wrench
Don't' wanna be your monkey wrench
Don't' wanna be your monkey wrench
Don't' wanna be your monkey wrench
