It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Everytime 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
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
They're the ones who make the rules
It's not a game--it's just a rout


There's desparation
There's desparation in the air
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out


And we're always slipping thru 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 family?
It's Defective!
All the batteries are shot


What about friends?
They're Defective!
All the parts are out of stock


What about hope?
It's Defective!
It's corroded and decayed


Waht 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!


I want my money back
I want my money back


It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Everytime I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out


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 we're always slipping thru the cracks
Then the movie's over--fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!
