Meat Loaf
Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back (Hard Rock Live)
[Intro]
I want my money back
Say it like you mean it
I want my money back
I wanna rock your world
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 thе air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no dеtergent gets it out
[Chorus]
And we're always slippin' through the cracks
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
[Post-Chorus]
I want my money back
Life is a lemon, life is a lemon
I want my money back
Life is a lemon...
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
It's a never-ending attack
Everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon
And I want my money...
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want - yeah, you want
And I want - I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want my money back
Life is a lemon
And I want, and I want
And I want
And I want my money back
