Up With The Jones letra

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
