The Jones’

[Verse 1]
The brother runs the camera
And the sister gives the cues
The uncle is the producer
And the old man writes the news

[Chorus]
This family named Jones
That comes into our homes
And tells us what to wear and where
And tell us what to drive and why
And tells us what to smoke and vote
And tells us what to drink and think
To think we listen

[Verse 2]
On late night shows they take scholars
And with a sarcastic grin
They ask him to explain his philosophy
Before the sponsor breaks in

[Chorus]
This family named Jones
That comes into our homes
And tells us what to wear and where
And tells us what to drive and why
And tells us what to smoke and vote
And tells us what to drink and think
To think we listen

[Verse 3]
The in-laws run the paper
And print whatever they please
And Pap don't believe in politics
He just knows what the masses need

[Chorus]
This family named Jones
That comes into our homes
And tells us what to wear and where
And tells us what to drive and why
And tells us what to smoke and vote
And tells us what to drink and think
To think we listen

[Verse 4]
They're hip and they're slick and they're flashy
Sophisticated and they're cool
To them the clerk and the worker
Are just rednecks and clods and fools

[Chorus]
This family named Jones
That comes into our homes
And tells us what to wear and where
And tells us what to drive and why
And tells us what to smoke and vote
And tells us what to drink and think
To think we listen and try to be like them
