Life Is a Lemon and I Want My Money Back Lyrics
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
That's the only guarantee, that's what this is all about
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
They're the ones who make the rules,
It's not a game, it's just a rout
It leaves a stain on all your clothes
And no detergent gets it out
Slippin'
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
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, life is a lemon
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up and burn it out
Everything's a lie and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Slippin'
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back
Back, back, back, back!
Life is a lemon
The greatest bad ass song ever written!!!!
Ahem. What is rule number one of Fight Club? ;)
I think you already broke it.
whilst this song is about politicians n others tryin 2 control us its also about how you feel when nothins goin right for you. sometrimes it does feel like lifes a lemon and theres nothing good in life. its a fantastic song and i always listen 2 it when i'm in a bad mood or upset
god I love this negative song! it fits perfectly when youre pissed off at everything around you. Perfect in every way..
this song defines the bad attitude just get away from me or i will kill you mood. garbojen is right. its a pissy mood song
I think it speaks for itself...
As depressing and negative as it is - it's still one of his best songs - especially when performed live!
@zoton Totally True! I’ve listened to it a lot today already...pumps me up! But then, I always find myself REALLY wanting my money/life/time back (from a specific jerk) and then there’s like a ‘come down’ as I know all I can do is carry on. He won’t get caught. He’ll never reflect back on his transgressions made against us. But, I get fired up again because he’s history to me! And, mostly I think: He’s still (name withheld) and I’d rather be Me; even with all crap he left me to do and stole and, on and on....so, I listen...

you know your stuff zoton IIIIIIIII WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!
you know your stuff zoton IIIIIIIII WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!!
like others have already said this is a great song when your in a bad mood. in fact i actually find it puts me in a good mood. i mean you can't really take the lyrics too seriously, i find them really funny. meat loaf is comparing life to a movie (a lemon). its such an exageration its almost satiric. the message i get from this song is to stop feeling sorry for my self and get on with life. coz i aint gonna get no refund :)
