I think the "Won't you believe it. It's just my luck" and the "You're in high school again" lines are supposed to make the listener think he's talking about being in a social scene, and everything being shallow like high school, where you start as a freshman and get no respect and have to make friends with the right people to move up and all that.
But then he throws "No recess" in, and it kind of just destroys all that meaning. It's like he's complaining about highschool because you don't get recess like you do in grade school. It strings the listener along into thinking there's some deeper meaning and then intentionally kills it. That's how a lot of Nirvana songs seem to be written.
I think the guy who says it's about 9/11 is closer to the mark than anyone else.
