Some things I want but can't receive
I wonder if it's because of me
I would like a license and a car
These two things could take me far
As for my job I do enjoy
That is why I stay employed
Money is something I need and want
But why is it that I must hunt
If I work harder and much more
A license, a car to adore
But I fear the consequences of this gain
What if it only causes pain
And in school my grades start to slip
This could take me on a terrible trip
This is something that I do not yearn
For my grades have already started to turn
And deep inside they really burn
