"we don't need no education...." 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?

You're joking, right?

actually, that's a valid point. i always thought i was the first one but now...........................

Spot ON! Double negative makes POSITIVE. 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?
