歌词
[Verse 1]
I want my money back
I want my money back
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It's always somethin'
There's always somethin' goin' wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about
[Verse 4]
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 5]
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
[Verse 6]
There's desperation (There's desperation)
There's desperation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out
[Verse 7]
And we're always slippin' through the cracks (Slippin')
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
[Verse 8]
I want my money back
I want my money back
[Verse 9]
What about love?
It's defective
It's always breaking in half
[Verse 10]
What about sex?
It's defective
It's never built to really last
[Verse 11]
What about your family?
It's defective
All the batteries are shot
[Verse 12]
What about your friends?
They're defective
All the parts are out of stock
[Verse 13]
What about hope?
It's defective
It's corroded and decayed
[Verse 14]
What about faith?
It's defective
It's tattered and it's frayed
[Verse 15]
What about your Gods?
They're defective
They forgot the warranty
[Verse 16]
What about your town?
It's defective
It's a dead end street to me
[Verse 17]
What about your school?
It's defective
It's a pack of useless lies
[Verse 18]
What about your work?
It's defective
It's a crock and then you die
[Verse 19]
What about your childhood?
It's defective
It's dead and buried in the past
[Verse 20]
What about your future?
It's defective
And you can shove it up your ass
[Verse 21]
Oh, I want my money back (Life is a lemon)
Oh, I want my money back (Life is a lemon, life is a lemon)
[Verse 22]
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
[Verse 23]
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 24]
And we're always slipping through the cracks (Slipping)
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
[Verse 25]
Back, back, back, back
I want my money back
I want my money back (Life is a lemon)
