Such and Such

Lately I chide myself
For trying to much
And for doing such and such
All with such a fuss
With curses and stuff.
I'm trying hard breathlessly trying 
To keep up with so and so
And such and such
Keeping up with the Jones 
You know, they ain't slow 
It's all to much 
Just because such and such can afford plush and stuff
Have to stop trying to be like everybody else
Have to try and be more like me 
Instead of like them or him you see.
Keeping up with the Jones ain't easy.
