Educated Guess Lyrics
it looks like my crazy family
is down one crazy daughter 'cause
i'm shipwrecked in the desert that
once was underwater just
looking for a swift turn of phrase
some colors to fly
as i float by
in the parade
plus i dream in skin scented sentences
of a stronger, faster, fiercer you
and to each noun verb and predicate
i dedicate a vivid hue
but you ain't done too well getting past your permanent pastel
have you now
the desert seems so promising
and then it pales and somehow
so school is in session
get your chin off your desk
and pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me
i got a spot at eye-level like
a speak-easy door and i
i know you know the password
'cause i seen you here before and i
i got something sweet for you
and i don't care if it is more than
you deserve
i got a lot of love
and a lot of nerve
so baby watch me while i take this curve
yeah school is in session
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me
plus i have this whole new family
and i'm in love with each of them
and i'm on this list called lucky when
ever i'm in reach of them
that i'd be happy either way
with your love
yes i'm calling on the stars above
so school is in session
get your chin off your desk
and pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me
is down one crazy daughter 'cause
i'm shipwrecked in the desert that
once was underwater just
looking for a swift turn of phrase
some colors to fly
as i float by
in the parade
of a stronger, faster, fiercer you
and to each noun verb and predicate
i dedicate a vivid hue
but you ain't done too well getting past your permanent pastel
have you now
the desert seems so promising
and then it pales and somehow
get your chin off your desk
and pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education
and take an educated guess
about me
about me
a speak-easy door and i
i know you know the password
'cause i seen you here before and i
i got something sweet for you
and i don't care if it is more than
you deserve
and a lot of nerve
so baby watch me while i take this curve
get your chin off your desk
now pick up your pencil
and turn over your test
use your education

about me
and i'm in love with each of them

if you want to learn, you'll learn, without ever needing to go to school. there are so many ways to learn what you want to know, school is rather useless.
(this coming from a home-schooled teenager) =D
can school teach us everything? are we more knowlegable with an education?
School just drowns us in information. It doesn't really teach us anything. Those who see it as an institution from which to gain knowledge become conformists looking for someone to tell them how to live. And surely they find it. If you look at school as just a means for connection. It is a place to explore yourself and to connect with others.

I have always interpreted this as living life the best you can - you can never have all of the answers, but you can make an educated guess based on what you do know.
I think there might also be something in the heavy use of color terms, especially in the first half.
