Putting Ups With The Joneses Lyrics - Spirit Of The West

mr. jones has a little problem 

if i had eyes i'd see that it was me 

he's the size of a man with the potential of a boy 

not what god had meant a child of its to be 

i'm afraid that he'll amount to all of nothing 

the joy of reading Yeats he'll never know 

and in the rat race twirl 

of our computer guided world 

he stands no chance of winning 

let alone to place or show so 

 

lock him up and throw away the key boys 

mr. jones is not like you or me 

luck him up tight 

cause if he had the chance he might 

show us that we're wrong 

and that's the one thing we can't be 

oh no

mr. jones wanted to be married 

it seemed like such a cute thing at the time 

two peas in a pod, two of a kind 

who never have to ask each other 

"what's on your mind?" 

it seemed a simple way to make them happy 

and happy is such a simple way to be 

and if the kept to themselves 

like two books upon a shelf 

the kind you judge by the cover 

and never take the time to read 

 

lock him up and throw away the key boys 

mr. jones is not like you or me 

luck him up tight 

cause if he had the chance he might 

show us that we're wrong 

and that's the one thing we can't be 

oh no

mr. jones and mrs. jones we're elated to inform you 

though you've failed to meet the standards 

we've a place where we'll reform you 

it's a ways outside of town 

but the distance has its uses 

close enough to make the effort 

far enough to make excuses 

 

lock him up and throw away the key boys 

mr. jones is not like you or me 

luck him up tight 

cause if he had the chance he might 

show us that we're wrong 

and that's the one thing we can't be 

oh no 

 

mrs. jones wants to have a baby 

she says that as a woman its her right 

yes we tried to tell her i guess that she forgot 

when she and mr. jones were wed 

the doctors tied the knot 

why can't she just be happy in her own world 

then we could all be happy here in ours 

we could still help out 

even go as far as to stop off 

at teh safeway, and drop some pennies in the jar 

 

lock her up and throw away the key boys 

mrs. jones is not like you or me 

luck him up tight 

cause if she had the chance she might 

show us that we're wrong 

and that's the one thing we can't be 

lock them up and throw away the key boys 

the joneses are not like you or me 

luck them up tight 

cause if they had the chance they might 

show us that we're wrong 

and that's the one thing we can't be 

oh no
