The brother runs the cam'ra and the sister gives the cues
The uncle is the producer and the old man writes the reviews
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
On late night shows they take scholars and with a sarcastic grin
They ask him to explain his philosophy before the sponsor breaks in
This family named Jones...
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
This family named Jones...
They're hip and they're slick and they're flashy sophisticated and they're cool
To them the clerk and the worker just rednecks and clogs and fools
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 and try to be like them
