Pink Floyd - Another Brick in the Wall

We don't need no education 
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

We don't need no education 
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave us kids alone
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall

All in all you're just another brick in the wall

"Another Brick in the Wall” is about children not wanting to go to school, get an education and not let themselves be bossed by teachers

According to the band, the "wall" is the self-isolating barrier we build over the course of our lives, and the "bricks in the wall" are the people and events that turn us inward and away from others.

The song equates "education" with "thought control" – that's exactly how education is used in all kinds of real-life situations throughout history.

The song represents the frustration with oppressive authority figures, fear of brainwashing through the education system – struck a chord in a country where much of the population had no voice.
