It's all or nothing

And nothing's all I ever get

Ev'ry 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

Ev'rything'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?

It's 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 you 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

I want my money back.

It's all or nothing

And nothing's all I ever get

Ev'ry time I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out.

It's a never ending attack

Ev'rything'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

I want my money back.
