Staff to Refund Counter lyrics
by Frank Turner
God gave me consciousness but he never mentioned why
What's the use of living long if we're all condemned to die?
Humbled in hospitals I have seen the bitter end
Everybody will die alone deserted by their friends
I want it back
Yeah, I want it back
Bleak springs of greying skies, dead grass and twisted trees
Each year advances this insidious disease
Decaying year on year, dear God there's no respite
A final lonely breath and then just endless night
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
This isn't what we asked for, it isn't what we wanted
I'll try to be grateful, but I'm a little disappointed
This doesn't match the picture, I picked out from the catalogue
It doesn't include batteries, I cannot get it started
Who do I need to speak to about this?
Post-coital cigarettes laced with a tired disgust
A broken contraceptive, conception unjust
Another suckling babe, another fourscore years
Another lifetime for some sucker stuck right here
So I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want it back

Staff to the refund counter please
