Keep ahead of the Joneses

lyrics

Keep ahead of the Joneses

You had to buy a new TV with a lifetime guarantee
To restore your sense of chi and your superiority

Keep ahead of the Joneses
Keep rubbing their noses in it
You’ve got a brand new car
You’re better off than them by far

So many ways to help you pay don’t save it for a rainy day
When offers come your way you can hear yourself say

Keep ahead of the Joneses
Keep rubbing their noses in it
You’ve got a brand new car
You’re better off than them by far

You could end up in so much debt it would be cheaper being dead
So take your problems to the grave and count the money you’ll save

Keep ahead of the Joneses
Keep rubbing their noses in it
You’ve got a brand new car
You’re better off than them by far
