I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothin'
And nothin's all I ever get,
Every time I turn it I burn it up and burn it out

There'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,
Their the ones who make the rules, it's not a game it's just a rout

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.

And we're always slippin' through the cracks.
Then the movie's over, fade to black.
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

What about love?
It's defective!
It's always breakin' 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?
Their defective!
All the parts are out of stock.

What about your god?
It's 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 hope?
It's defective!
It's corroded and decayed.

What about faith?
It's defective!
It's tattered and it
