Ani Difranco - EDUCATED GUESS lyrics

rate me

Words and music by Ani DiFranco

Looks like my crazy family

Is down one crazy daughter cuz

I'm shipwrecked in a 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?

Yes, the desert seemed so promising

And then it paled somehow

So 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

I've got a slot at eye level like

A speakeasy door

And I know you know the password

Cuz I've seen you here before

And I've got something sweet for you

And I don't care if it is more than you deserve

I've got a lot of love and a lot of nerve

So watch me while I take this curve

Yes 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

Plus I have this whole new family

And I'm in love with each of them

And I'm on this list called lucky

Whenever I'm in reach of them

And I'm learning how to say

That I'd be happy either way

With your love

I'm calling on the stars above

School is in session

Get your chin off your desk

Now pick up your pencil

Turn over your test

Use your education

And take an educated guess
