Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Neighbor’s got a brand-new car Polished chrome But the tank feels dark Smiling wide with a maxed-out card Chasing sparks in an empty yard Scroll Scroll Every perfect frame Same house Same dog Same last name Everybody running one same race Same tight shoes on a stranger’s pace [Chorus] If you keep up with the Joneses Tell me what you do when they go over the cliff Follow them down in a cloud of smoke Or cut that rope and learn to live I don’t wanna be one more ghost in the traffic I’m done with the plastic script If you keep up with the Joneses You’re going over the cliff [Verse 2] Mom says “Kid Get a safer job” Dead-eyed boss and a coffee clock Best friend lost on the ladder climb High as hell But he hates his life So I burned that blueprint Tore that page Took my fear Turned it into rage Bought one ticket on a busted train Heading straight for my own strange flame (yeah) [Chorus] If you keep up with the Joneses Tell me what you do when they go over the cliff Follow them down in a cloud of smoke Or cut that rope and learn to live I don’t wanna be one more ghost in the traffic I’m done with the plastic script If you keep up with the Joneses You’re going over the cliff [Bridge] I’d rather crawl on my knees through the dirt Than fly first class to a life that hurts I’d rather break my heart on my choice Than choke on a borrowed voice (hey!) [Chorus] If you keep up with the Joneses Tell me what you do when they go over the cliff Follow them down in a cloud of smoke Or cut that rope and learn to live I’ll take broke and brave over rich and tragic I’ll take weird and wild over pale and stiff If you keep up with the Joneses You’re going over the cliff I’d rather lose it all for my own real madness Than die in their script If you keep up with the Joneses You’re going over the cliff

rock, Crunchy modern rock with a tight 4-piece band, male vocals. Verses sit in a mid-tempo, palm-muted groove that builds tension; choruses explode with open chords, gang shouts on key lines, and a driving kick-snare pattern. Bridge drops to half-time with ambient feedback swells, then kicks back in for a big, shout-along final hook.
