Monkey Wrench
Foo Fighters · Greatest Hits [2009]
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
