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
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
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 (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
It disappeared with time, it never made much sense

"what have we done with innocence", to me means that noone is too nice not to cop shit from arseholes.
"it disappeared in time it never made much sense", that to some people nice doesn't exist.
"adolescent resident", that you still behave like a kindergarten child despite the fact that you are an adult.
"wasting another night on planning my revenge", that i'm thinking about a way to let you know that i've had enough and that i'm not having it anymore.
"one in ten", that's pretty much the only line where it means nothing to me.
"don't want to be your monkey wrench", i don't want to be your tool and be used by you.
"one more indecent accident", that 1 more incident and i could explode.
"i'd rather leave than suffer this", that i'm prepared to ditch friends to ditch arseholes.
"i'll never be your monkey wrench", i'm done once and for all with you.
"all this time to make amends", you've had so many chances to stop and even redeem yourself.
"what do you do when all your enemies are friends", that the people that you hang around with are actually against you and you feel trapped.
"now and then i'll try to bend", i have bent my arse over for you more often than not.
"under pressure wind up snapping in the end", the pressure has gotten to me and i'm this close to exploding.
"temper, temper, temper", there's someone telling me to calm down and control myself, but you know what, i have for so long and now this is what i want to say to you.
"one last thing before i quit i never wanted anymore than i could fit intio my head i still remember every single word you said and all the shit that somehow came along with it still there's 1 thing that comforts me since i was always caged and now i'm free".
the song was building up to that part, and that's how i feel, that bit where he yells and loses his temper is to me like saying i've held myself for so long but being nice hasn't worked, and that i was caged with no escape but now i'm free from you and your curse. ultimately this is probably a song about ending a relationship of some sort.
"one in ten" one in ten people are assholes, psyho paths, socio paths, losers and so on
I have the solution. Each creature in the infinite in a universe by itself with an infinite number of stars who's energy is focused on giving bliss to that creature. You would say you would get let lonely well the stars would make you love yourself most of all. Each creature never knowing of another. Not for you fine, but if I ever get that universe don't come a knocking looking for any energy from the stars in my universe
Dave Grohl: "This is a song about realising that you are the source of all of the problems in a relationship and you love the other person so much, you want to free them of the problem, which is actually yourself."
It's about his ex-wife, they got divorced during the making of "The Colour and the Shape." album.

What the hell are you talking about
One in ten of my fingers has a wart on it, does that mean the song is about warts???
-Not wanting to be used.
-Not wanting to be the one who causes problems and slows the other down.
-Or not wanting to just be another "tool in the shed", so to speak.
