LIFE IS A LEMON AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK
       ----------------------------------------

I want my money back! I want my money back!

It"s all or nothing, and nothing"s all I ever get
Everytime 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, everything"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 thru 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? They"re 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 your 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!

I want my money back - life is a lemon
I want my money back - life is a lemon, life is a lemon

It"s all or nothing, and nothing"s all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out

It"s a never ending attack, everything"s a lie and that"s a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

And we"re always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie"s over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Back, back, back, back!

I want my money back, I want my money back - life is a lemon
