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

Style
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.
