Da ddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for m e
Da ddy what d'ya leave behind for me
Al l in all it was just a brick in the w all(x2)
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Te achers leave them kids alone
He y teacher leave them kids al one
Al l in all it's just an other brick in the w all (x2)
I don't need no arms around me
I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
D on't think I need anything at all
No don't think I need anything at all
Al l in all it was al l just bricks in the wall (x2)
Wh en we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who w ould
Hu rt the children a ny way they could
By pouring their derision upon a nything we did
Ex posing every weakness, how ever carefully hidden by the kids
But in the t own it was well known when they got h ome at night
Their fat and psychopa thic wives would thrash them
Within in ches of their lives
