exposing any 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(3) them within inches(4) of their lives!


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 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...

(A bunch of kids singing) 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 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(5) meat, you can't have any pudding.
