Lyrics：Jim Steinman Music：Jim Steinman Arranger：Jim Steinman
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 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
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!
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
