Song lyrics
what have we done with innocence
it disappeared with time and 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 then 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 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 then suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Temper, Temper , Temper,

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted anymore 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 but now I'm free

dont' wanna be your monkey wrench
one more indecent accident
I'd rather leave then suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

Amazing song. Totally pumps me up everytime I listen to it. The bridge in particular drives me completely bezerk! Awesome!

"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"
