Up With The Jones |
| I started out |
| I had no plan |
| I took a job and soon was working for the man |
| And now it seems |
| Through modern dreams |
| And all I’ve done is learn to live beyond my means |
| Yes we had the house |
| And we have the car |
| And paid for it all |
| On some credit card |
| Now that ain’t right |
| My second home |
| Your student loan |
| And every year I got myself a brand new phone |
| Can’t do without |
| Don’t have the nerve |
| I tell myself that these are things that I deserve |
| Yes I can’t make do |
| With just half my cheque |
| I need all those things |
| And so I live in debt |
| And that ain’t right |
| No no no no |
| Everything that I thought I knew |
| Everything I was told was true |
| I was living a lie and I never asked why |
| And now I don’t know what to do |
| I guess I can’t keep up |
| I guess I can’t keep up Jones |
| I can’t slow down |
| I’ve lost control |
| I double down and tell myself I’m on a roll |
| It’s not my fault |
| It’s not like me |
| I never saw myself as someone who ain’t free |
| Now I’m wondering |
| Has it gone too far |
| Should I pick up the cheque from this hotel bar |
| Now that ain’t right |
| Everything that I thought I knew |
| Everything I was told was true |
| I was living a lie and I never asked why |
| Now I don’t know what to do |
| I guess I can’t keep up |
| I guess I can’t keep up Jones |
| I was living like the money was king |
| I let it have the power on me |
| Now I recognize the funniest thing |
| Is now I’m broken now I’m finally free |
| We all know life |
| Don’t go as planned |
| So now I’m buying all my records second hand |
| It’s brought me these |
| I’ve come to see |
| That all my greatest joys in life are always free |
| I still have my house |
| But I’ve sold my car |
| And it felt so damn good |
| To cut up those credit cards |
| Yeah that felt right |
| Everything that I thought I knew |
| Everything I was told was true |
| I was living a lie and I never asked why |
| Now I don’t know what to do |
| I guess I can’t keep up |
| I guess I can’t keep up Jones |
