Lyrics Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back - Meat Loaf

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)
