 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 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 thru the cracks

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 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? They're defective - all the parts are out of stock

 (Key change: )

 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 your Gods? They're defective - They forgot the warranty

 What about your town? It's defective - it's a dead end street to me

(Key change: # # # # )

 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!

(Key change: # # # )

 I want my money back - life is a lemon

 I want my money back - life is a lemon, life is a lemon

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

Back, back, back, back!

I want my money back, I want my money back - life is a lemon
