Every education system on earth has the same hierarchy of subjects
At the top
Are mathematics
And languages
Everywhere on earth
Everywhere on earth
So you were probably steered benignantly away from things at school
When you were a kid
Things you liked
On the grounds you would never get a job doing that
Never get a job doing that
Is that right?
Everywhere on earth
Don't do music you're not going to be a musician
Don't do art you won't be an artist
Benign advice
Now profoundly mistaken
And the consequence is that many highly talented
Brilliant
Creative people think they're not
Because the thing they were good at school wasn't valued
Or was actually stigmatised
And for the future it won't service
What you do in life chooses you
You can choose not to do it
Not to do it
You can choose to
Try to do something safer
Your vocation chooses you
Hey Doc you better back up we don't have enough road to get up to 88
Roads?
Where we're going we don't need roads
Hey kid we gotta get there
Are we going the right way better ask this honey
I think she might know
And she's got it going on
Hey sugar can hear this
I'm on the road to nowhere could you give me direction
Which way should I go?
I found myself looking around
At a really bleak winter in New York
And I think I needed colour
More people worldwide
Will be graduating through education than since the beginning of history
Kids with degrees are often heading home
To carry on playing video games
Sonic boom
It's a process of academic inflation
The whole structure is shifting beneath our feet
Hey kid we gotta get there
Are we going the right way better ask this honey
I think she might know
And she's got it going on
Hey sugar can hear this
I'm on the road to nowhere could you give me direction
Which way should I go?
Our education system has mined our minds
In the way that we strip-mined the earth
Strip-mined the earth
For a particular commodity
Now I don't mean to say that being wrong is the same thing as being creative
What we do know is
If you're not prepared to be wrong
You'll never come up with anything original
We are educating people out of their creative capacity
Re-think the fundamental principles on which we're educating our children
We have to be careful now that we use this gift wisely
By seeing our creative capacity for the richness they are
And for seeing our children for the hope that they are
And our task is to educate their whole being so they can face this future
Hey kid we gotta get there
By the way we may not see this future
But they will
And our job
Hey kid we gotta get there
Is to help them make something of it
Hey kid we gotta get there
Are we going the right way better ask this honey
I think she might know
And she's got it going on
Hey sugar can hear this
I'm on the road to nowhere could you give me direction
Which way should I go?
I think I needed colour
I think I needed colour
