My friend Lisa tells me that I should cheer up
My fast forward's broken and my rewind is stuck
I'm constantly depending on a bitter outlook
One heartbreak per song, that's all that it took
I wrote my best songs the day my ex flew away
If I ever feel happy then I have nothing to say
Sometimes I feel like I need a new girlfriend
So she can break my heart and I can start writing again
Ya gotta have lemons to make lemonade
You can't see the rainbow till it rains on your parade
This irony is a giant friggin joke
My life feels better through a glass of whisky and coke
So bring on the nightmares, I'll try and write them down
If you ever see me smiling, please try and make me frown
If I say life is sweet, take away my insulin
Give me a lemonade sour and let the madness begin
And when I've got one foot in the grave
And you brew my funeral ale
Make sure the piper's paid
Give him a double vodka with a shot of lemonade
Ya gotta have lemons to make lemonade
You can't see the rainbow till it rains on your parade
This irony is a giant friggin joke
My life feels better through a glass of whisky and coke
I got one foot in the grave
I'm gonna find me some lemonade
I got one foot in the grave
I'm gonna find me some lemonade
Ya gotta have lemons to make lemonade
You can't see the rainbow till it rains on your parade
This irony is a giant friggin joke
My life feels better through a glass of whisky and coke
