Keeping Up With The Joneses by The Medic Droid Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2008

[Verse 1]
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy blending in the crowd
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy following the crowd

And when you come back down now, girl
When you come back down now, girl

When you were a young girl
Did you wanna be something more, baby?
But now you feel you're so lost
And you're burning up inside, yeah!

[Pre-Chorus]
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down

[Chorus]
I can't pretend I'm happy when
And now I know it's pointless
I'm constantly on a down
And I'm tired of waiting (Waiting)
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again
[Verse 2]
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy blending in the crowd
The lights are out and the dance floor's waiting
But you're too busy following the crowd

And when you come back down now, girl
When you come back down now, girl

When I was a young boy
I wanted to be something more, baby
But I can't dance, no, and I sure as fuck can't sing!

[Pre-Chorus]
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down
We're clocking in to watch our fate come crashing down

[Chorus]
Why do we play into this motive?
What are you waiting for tonight?
You wonder, you wait
And you can't get through this without a line, no!
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again!

[Break]
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
Let's break it down
[Bridge]
Everything's so jaded, baby
Father's trying hard to keep up with the Joneses
And his wife's so dirty, baby
Sexing up every Tom, Dick and Harry in town

[Chorus]
Let's go!
I can't pretend I'm happy when
And now I know it's pointless
I'm constantly on a down
And I'm tired of waiting (Waiting)
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now you're falling again

[Outro]
I can't pretend I'm happy when
And now I know it's pointless
I'm constantly on a down
And I'm tired of waiting, waiting for you
Climb to the top, climb to the top
Climb to the top, climb to the top
And now I know it's pointless...
