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 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?
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
Oh, 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
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 cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back

I want my money back
Back, back, back, back

I want my money back
I want my money back
(Life is a lemon)
