Verse 1

What have we done with innocence?

It disappeared with time, it never made much sense

Adolescent resident

Wasting another night on plannin' my revenge

Pre-Chorus

One in ten

One in ten

One in ten

Chorus

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

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

Pre-Chorus

One in ten

One in ten

One in ten

Chorus

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

Post-Chorus

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 wanna 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 wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)

Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)

Don't wanna be your monkey wrench (Fall in, fall out)

Don't wanna be your monkey wrench
