Misguided Envy

It's funny how you're made a fool Even thought you topped at school And the courses that you took As you went from book to book Seem to matter less today At least that's what the others say So after all your years of work You're just another cash poor jerk It seems the ones who did so well Knew which stocks to buy and sell They saved their cash Put in away To take it out Some later day So now the lives they live are great The kind of folks you really hate But don't blame them for their new luck You really should have saved the buck
