Up With The Jones

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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
