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

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
