We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! 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
Teachers leave those kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still laddy!"
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! 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
Teachers leave those kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave those kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
"Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You! Yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still laddy!"

Of course we all know growing up and living in society is a compromise, and different people are comfortable with different levels of freedom and of responsibility. You can look at having to adjust to rules of social living (don't steal; share your toys; clean up after yourself; don't hit others; be nice to the doggie; make yourself presentable; eat the nutritious stuff before the junk; don't play with your wee-wee in public; etc.) as oppressive to the spirit, but then again, you can see their value in keeping a civil and healthy society. Either way, it happens, whether a government, a mob (the tribe), the family, the church, is doing it: they raise us to behave a certain way, especially in public.
To associate the objectionable aspects of being educated, civilized, etc., with the feminine principle is childish and misogynistic.
Seriously--i love Pink Floyd's music, but i remember when i saw that movie, thinking, "What a bunch of knuckleheads--grow up and forgive your mummies for raising you. She didn't do so badly, now did she?
Oh well nowadays they'll just give the kids some ADHD medication--the mommies, the daddies, and the doctors seem to agree. Now there's a real brick wall--creating little addicted consumers out of normal, energetic, cloistered children! I suppose there's a song about that, or there ought to be. But hopefully the "drug-them-down" force isn't characterized as a woman.
The reason they're women is partly because of the main characters search for a father figure; there needs to be an absence of possible father figures in order for the movie to progress.
As far as your problems with ADHD medication; I've been diagnosed with ADHD for 14 years now, and the medicine helps me immensely. Please don't disregard the potential help it can actually give to those who actually have problems.
again to the whole album; the first part (disc 1) is why Roger decided to enclose himself in a "floydian wall", and the second part (Disc 2) is what he did inside it and how he got out.
The "We don't need no education/thought control" speaks for itself pretty much, about how strict and controlling the system was, trying to teach the children to think a certain way.
"Another brick in the wall" refers to a mental/emotional wall, with difficult experiences helping to create a wall around the person, making them cut off from the world, numb and unfeeling.
Great song.
