Keeping up with the Jones' is
	what some people try to do.
Everything that the Jones' get,
	they want to have it too.

The sky seems to be the limit as
	deeper into debt they go,
And still they are not happy
	no matter how much they stow.

It seems to take forever
	as they never seem to catch up,
Wanting everything to look just the same
	right on down to their pup.

But I’d rather be an individual,
	being so unique.
It seems to be more interesting
	as different things I seek.

I also seem much happier
	when jealousy doesn’t enter in,
and I don’t have to pile things up
	in order for me to win.
