憑歌寄意:Life is a Lemon (Meat Loaf)

A wonderful, great and long-lasting song written and performed by Meat Loaf.

Please pay attention to every line of the lyrics 'coz they're so real and meaningful, except the two lines whose font-size was turned into the smallest.

(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 (Slippin')
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

(I want my money back) (Life is a lemon) Say it again (Life is a lemon)
(I want my money back) (Life is a lemon)

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) Say it again (life is a lemon)
(I want my money back) (life is a lemon) (life is a lemon) Rock it

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 (Slippin')
Then the movie's over, fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Life is a lemon
and I want my money back
