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 ch?que
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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
