Brick in the Wall

Khrystyna stands on a pile of grey bricks wearing denim trousers and a classic blue denim cropped jacket acting like the quintessential high school punk. She don’t need no education!

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.
–Another Brick in the Wall, from The Wall, Pink Floyd

The Wall is rock opera by Pink Floyd released as double album in 1979. It was made into a musical film in 1982. Some educators might argue this song incites anarchy in the classroom. Watch it and see what you think.

Pink Floyd: ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL

You, Yes You, Stand Still Laddie!

When we grew up and went to school, there were certain teachers who would hurt the children anyway they could
by pouring their derision upon anything we did
exposing every weakness however carefully hidden by the kids.

Out in the middle of nowhere they were home at night
their fat and psychopathic wives
Would thrash them within inches of their lives!

Wooo-oooo-oooo, wooo-oooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo, wooo-oooo-oooo
Wooo-oooo-oooo, wooo-oooo-oooo
Woooooooo

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

Children’s chorus:
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 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

Spoken:
“Wrong, Guess again!
Wrong, Guess 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 bikesheds, stand still laddie!”

[Sound of TV's, on different channels]
“The Bulls are already out there”
Pink: “Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrgh!”
“This Roman Meal bakery thought you’d like to know.”

I don’t need no arms around me
And I don’t need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don’t think I need anything at all
No! Don’t think I’ll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall
