Shouldn't I Be Doing Something?

Material not getting through.
Ask me questions I have no clue.
These tests I take end up all boiled.
I crumble them up like aluminum foil.
Why oh why don't I just understand.
Education is the original plan.
To work real hard and get a degree.
To make some money then be free.
But something tells me at the end of the line,
I'll be the old man who's just drinkin some wine.
Wondering when all the time had gone by.
Still paying off loans, and I'm starting to cry.
"Grow a pair" I say to my older self.
"It's about happiness and not about wealth."
