Lyrics Education - Pearl Jam

Education

I’m questioning my education
Is my education all I am now?
While you’re deciding I’ve been finding
Looking around in the here and now
From the time I was four or five
I have started math, science
Social studies, and the greatest
English for I now how to read and write
If I’d been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?
Would my fears be losing?
Would my fears be afraid of not learning?
I’m questioning my own equation
Is my own equation relevant somehow
The flags will wave and the news is breaking
See the man who can’t pick out his own tie
If I’d been taught from the beginning
Would my fears now be winning?
A wild world, figured out the answers
I’ll be in my own, dancing out
I’m questioning my education
Rewinding, what does it show?
Could be, the truth, it becomes you
I’m a seed wondering why I’m grown
