How did it happen?
How did it get this far?
How did it ever start?
And do you feel the same?
Mister Jones
He drive on empty, yeah
Mister Jones
Don't he drive it down?

There's juju raining down all around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name spoken in every room

Everybody saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark
Is looking out for
What he is selling
What he is selling
Mister Jones

He'll tell your mother
Mm, that she can sing again
And he will sell her
His only melody
And yesterday
He made a blind man see, yeah
And then tomorrow
He'll take back everything

Careful standing by him, he'll lock in for good
Set you aside for later and won't forget
Now he got you working
Throwing dice his way

Everybody saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
He got the bags
You can carry
Yourself to hell in
Oh, yourself to hell in

Mmm, yeah

There's juju coming down all around you, yeah
Makes you heavy mental
It makes you tense
Hear his name, it's spoken in every room

Everybody's saving up for
What he is selling
Mister Jones
Oh, every mark is saving up for
What he is selling
Oh, what he is selling

Ooh, this world is fragile
We're aware
Quite acutely
And I know
All he wants
Chance to prove it
Absolutely
Mister Jones
