Ani DiFranco - Educated GuessLyrics

Looks like my crazy family Is down one crazy daughter 'cause 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 'Cause 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 About me
