I remember the first time I heard this song, years ago. My friend was driving me to school and I heard the violin and yelled "I LEARNED THAT SONG ON PIANO, IT'S IN MY SUZUKI BOOK!", to which she replied "Well that's sort of the song's title..."
I was raised on the Suzuki Method, it's a terribly boring way to learn classical music. You have a tape/cd and listen to the songs you will learn over and over, and go straight by the books. It's the reason I don't play much piano anymore, the repetition was very dull and I never got to learn any songs that I wanted to play. After 9 years it totally burned me out.
As for the meaning, I think it's completely backwards from what people have posted so far... I think the lyrics are being sarcastic, and saying that fast progress and music theory only do so much. Just light up a bong and jam!
"and also every day, every lesson,
we have to make sure they learn about tonalization"
