Meat Loaf - Life is a Lemon & I Want My Money Back Lyrics
I want my money back
I want my money back
It's all or nothing
And nothing's all I ever get
Every 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
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 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
They're 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 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
Oh, 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
Every time 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 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
Back, back, back, back
I want my money back
I want my money back
(Life is a lemon)
