"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
Every 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
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 detergant gets it out
 
And we're always slipping through the 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
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Every time 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 through the the cracks
Then the movie's over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!
