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 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
