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
