Keeping up with the Jones

There is no hope or future For the once thriving and competitive middle class Most of them are dependent on prescription drugs To escape the pathetic existence that became their lives No more showing off your fancy car No more bragging about your house or television Hustling the streets to make a quick dollar Just to keep up with the Jones They never want to leave the cradle of their misled intoxicated youth Extremely ill-prepared for unwanted responsibility Now they stay sedated just to cope with their neglected children Willingly systematically keeping up with the Jones Manic generation With loratabs methadone and totem poles Hillbilly Heroin Chewing on morphine patches On the outside the house looks new On the inside they live in filth No self esteem or ambition left Just keeping up with the Jones No more showing off your fancy car No more bragging about your house or television Hustling the streets to make a quick dollar Just to keep up with the Jones [Solo: Toler- It is time for a great intervention before it's too late Education is essential in a world of misinformation You must have the respect to be honest with yourself Stop lying and making excuses to justify keeping up with the Jones
