Life is a lemon and I want my money back vs. Ecclesiastes

Meatloaf's Life is a lemon and I want my money back

Played with a heavy rock beat
I want my money back
I want my money back
Its all or nothing
And nothings all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
Its always something
There's always something going wrong
That's the only guarantee
That's what this is all about
Its a never ending attack
Every thing'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
Its not a game - its 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 were always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movies 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? Its defective!
Its always breaking in half
What about sex? Its defective!
Its never built to really last
What about your family? Its defective!
All the batteries are shot
What about your friends? They're defective!
All the parts are out of stock
What about hope? Its defective!
Its corroded and decayed
What about faith? Its defective!
Its tattered and its frayed
What about your gods? They're defective!
They forgot the warranty
What about your town? Its defective!
Its a dead end street to me
What about your school? Its defective!
Its a pack of useless lies
What about your work? Its defective!
Its a crock and then you die
What about your childhood? Its defective!
Its dead and buried in the past
What about your future? Its defective!
And you can shove it up your a**!!
I want my money back
I want my money back
Its all or nothing
And nothings all I ever get
Every time I turn it on
I burn it up and burn it out
Its a never ending attack
Every thing's a lie, and that's a fact
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!
And were always slipping through the the cracks
Then the movies over-fade to black
Life is a lemon and I want my money back!

Ecclesiastes

2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."

11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

2 And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive.
3 But better than both is he who has not yet been, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.

12 For who knows what is good for a man in life, during the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow? Who can tell him what will happen under the sun after he is gone?

20 There is not a righteous man on earth who does what is right and never sins.

I believe Meatloaf did his research before writing his song. Clearly, he is speaking of the Fall. All is Fallen.

Unfortunately for Meatloaf, who just turned 60, it seems like his story ends there. How depressing.

Isn't it so much better with the happy ending that God makes available to us all?

Aloha.
