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
