Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
Music and lyrics by Jim
Steinman. Recorded by Meat Loaf on the album Bat Out Of Hell II.
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.
There'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!
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 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!
