Up With The Jones

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

No, no, no

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 chеque

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 with the 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

At this hotel bar?

Now 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

Now I don't know what to do

I guess I can't keep up

I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king

I let it have the power on me

Now I recognize the funniest thing

Is 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah

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 with the Jones
