Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters is one of my favorite bands and Dave Grohl is one of my musical idols especially during HS. The song is on of the highlight cuts from Foo Fighter's sophomore effort, The Colour and the Shape. I can't believe that this song is around 12 years old, I still remember seeing a 3rd year HS student in UST carrying a copy while i was in 2nd year, asking my parents to buy one for me and reading an article on Time magazine (we previously carried a subscription). It's also amazing to know that Dave Grohl was the drummer for the album, while manning the guitars and writing the songs.




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


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

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


One in ten

Dont want to be your monkey wrench

One more indecent accident

I'd rather leave than suffer this

I'll never be your monkey wrench

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 Im free

Dont want to be your monkey wrench

One more indecent accident

I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench


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
