Keeping up with the Jones - Narcotic Wasteland

There is no hope or future

For the once thriving and competitive middle class

Most of them are dependent on prescription drugs

To escape the pathetic existence that became their lives

No more showing off your fancy car

No more bragging about your house or television

Hustling the streets to make a quick dollar

Just to keep up with the jones

They never want to leave the cradle of their misled intoxicated youth

Extremely ill prepared for unwanted responsibility

Now they stay sedated just to cope with their neglected children

Willingly systematically keeping up with the jones

Manic generation

With lortabs methadone and totem poles

Hillbilly Heroine

Chewing on morphine patches

On the outside the house looks new

On the inside they live in filth

No self esteem or ambition left

Just keeping up with the jones

It is time for a great intervention before it’s too late

Education is essential in a world of misinformation

You must have the respect to be honest with yourself

Stop lying and making excuses to justify keeping up with the jones
