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
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave us 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
Wrong, do it again
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
You, yes
You, behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddy
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
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave us 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
Wrong, do it again
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?
You, yes
You, behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddy

He was trying to be satrical. Grats at failing.
The song seems at first to just say "We don't need no education" as if it's just some rebelious kid who doesn't want to go to school. But the school depicted in this song is a very restricting and controlling force. The "education" described in the song really seems to be thought control, where certain concepts are methodolically being imprinted in the minds of the students. Even the Scottish men yelling at the kids in the end, who seem to be some kind of supervisors and enforcers, are keeping them all in-line like prison guards.
Just my thoughts, anyone read "1984" that thinks the same?
it's on the echoes website.
there's a double negative there! are they just using incorrect english to make a point, or are they really saying that only through knowledge (transposing DON'T need NO education to its opposite) can we triumph over the government and other authoritative figures that stand between us and our ideal life?
We NEED education (knowledge)
We NEED thought control!
No darkness/evil/negative trying to distract us
"Teachers" being anyone who's distracting us from the main goal/negative influence
All in all is LITERAL. We are just ONE brick in the wall. ONE piece of a whole.
Wrong! Do it again! -You messed up this time, ready to start life all over?
