I can't afford it

Older now
it's hard to tell
what's right from wrong
i lost it somehow

go back to school
and relearn the rules
i'm zoning out
demand a recount

go back to school
and relearn the rules
i'm zoning out
in search for something else

i'm a mess
i can't provide the answer
i knew it back in high school
it dated back to when
i paid attention
back when i used to have to

but i'm older now
it's hard to tell
what's right from wrong
i lost it somehow

i can't expect
to be albert e
but my damn
misfortune distracts
now i can't subtract
no i can barely count
can you see a problem
i need help
whoah
