 F#m
It's all or nothing
 D/F#
And nothing's all I ever get
 F#m
Everytime I turn it on, I burn it up
 and burn it out

It's always something
 D/F#                           F#m
There's always something going wrong

That's the only guarantee, that's 
what this is all about


F#5   G#5   A5   D5
                      It's a never 
ending attack
F#5   G#5   A5   D5
                      Everything's a
 lie and that's a fact
F#5   G#5   A5   D5
                      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
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
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

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
Life is a lemon and I want my money 
back
Back, back, back, back!
I want my money back, I want my 
money back - life is a lemon
