[00:00.00]Puttin' Up With The Joneses - Spirit of the West
[00:27.23]Mr jones has a little problem
[00:30.01]If i had eyes i'd see that it was me
[00:33.06]He's the size of a man with the potential of a boy
[00:36.28]Not what god had meant a child of its to be
[00:39.75]I'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing
[00:43.03]The joy of reading Yeats he'll never know
[00:45.93]And in the rat race twirl
[00:47.65]Of our computer guided world
[00:49.42]He stands no chance of winning
[00:50.83]Let alone to place or show so
[00:53.12]Lock him up and throw away the key boys
[00:56.23]Mr jones is not like you or me
[00:59.36]Luck him up tight
[01:00.44]Cause if he had the chance he might
[01:02.76]Show us that we're wrong
[01:03.89]And that's the one thing we can't be
[01:05.95]Oh no
[01:13.11]Mr jones wanted to be married
[01:15.69]It seemed like such a cute thing at the time
[01:19.00]Two peas in a pod two of a kind
[01:22.39]Who never have to ask each other
[01:24.49]"what's on your mind "
[01:27.18]It seemed a simple way to make them happy
[01:30.41]And happy is such a simple way to be
[01:33.32]And if the kept to themselves
[01:34.95]Like two books upon a shelf
[01:36.70]The kind you judge by the cover
[01:38.20]And never take the time to read
[01:40.03]Lock him up and throw away the key boys
[01:43.73]Mr jones is not like you or me
[01:46.94]Luck him up tight
[01:48.08]Cause if he had the chance he might
[01:50.19]Show us that we're wrong
[01:51.41]And that's the one thing we can't be
[01:53.46]Oh no
[02:07.43]Mr jones and mrs jones we're elated to inform you
[02:13.66]Though you've failed to meet the standards
[02:16.99]We've a place where we'll reform you
[02:20.79]It's a ways outside of town
[02:24.23]But the distance has its uses
[02:27.66]Close enough to make the effort
[02:31.04]Far enough to make excuses
[02:34.10]Lock him up and throw away the key boys
[02:37.13]Mr jones is not like you or me
[02:40.39]Luck him up tight
[02:41.49]Cause if he had the chance he might
[02:43.71]Show us that we're wrong
[02:44.92]And that's the one thing we can't be
[02:46.96]Oh no
[02:53.72]Mrs jones wants to have a baby
[02:56.63]She says that as a woman its her right
[02:59.95]Yes we tried to tell her i guess that she forgot
[03:03.21]When she and mr jones were wed
[03:04.78]The doctors tied the knot
[03:08.02]Why can't she just be happy in her own world
[03:11.33]Then we could all be happy here in ours
[03:14.19]We could still help out
[03:16.32]Even go as far as to stop off
[03:18.55]At teh safeway and drop some pennies in the jar
[03:21.25]Lock her up and throw away the key boys
[03:24.61]Mrs jones is not like you or me
[03:27.79]Luck him up tight
[03:29.03]Cause if she had the chance she might
[03:31.12]Show us that we're wrong
[03:32.26]And that's the one thing we can't be
[03:34.08]Lock them up and throw away the key boys
[03:37.52]The joneses are not like you or me
[03:40.79]Luck them up tight
[03:41.99]Cause if they had the chance they might
[03:44.13]Show us that we're wrong
[03:45.32]And that's the one thing we can't be
[03:47.26]Oh no
