Lyrics
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Ev'ry time I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
It's always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack
Ev'rything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And all the morons
And all the stooges with their coins
They're the ones who make the rules, it's not a game it's just a rout
There's desperation
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes and no detergent gets it out
And we're always slipping through the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
What about love?
It's defective! it's always breaking in half
What about sex?
It's defective! it's never built to really last
What about your family?
It's defective! all the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
It's defective! all the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
It's defective! it's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
It's defective! it's tattered and it's frayed
What about you gods?
They're defective! they forgot the warranty
What about your town?
It's defective! it's a dead-end street to me
What about your school?
It's defective! it's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
It's defective! it's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
It's defective! it's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
It's defective! and you can shove it up your ass
Oh, I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Ev'ry time I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack
Ev'rything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
And we're always slipping through the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
I want my money back
