Another Brick In The Wall
. Korn Lyrics

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Father has gone far away, leaving behind only a memory

Leaving just a memory
Father left behind only a memory

A snapshot in the family album
A picture of Father's memory in the family album

Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
The singer is questioning what his father left him besides a memory

Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
The singer is asking what his father left behind for him

All in all it was just a brick in the wall
Father's memory is small and insignificant in the grand scheme of things

All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All memories are insignificant in the grand scheme of things

We don't need no education
The singer is critiquing the education system

We don't need no thought control
The singer is critiquing the way students are only taught what is deemed acceptable

No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers should not use dark sarcasm in the classroom

Teachers, leave them kids alone
The singer is asking teachers to leave kids alone to develop their own thoughts and ideas

Hey, teachers, leave those kids alone
The singer is requesting for teachers to stop trying to control students and let them be

All in all it's just another brick in the wall
The education system creates individuals who are just another 'brick in the wall'

All in all you're just another brick in the wall
Individuals within the education system are just another 'brick in the wall'

I don't need no arms around me
The singer does not need physical comfort or closeness

I don't need no drugs to calm me
The singer does not require drugs to calm themself

I have seen the writing on the wall
The singer has recognized and understood what is happening around them

Don't think I need anything at all
The singer doesn't need anything else but to understand what is happening around them

No, don't think I need anything at all
The singer continues to maintain that they do not need anything else

All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
Everything that has happened only leads to more bricks being laid

All in all you were all just bricks in the wall
Every individual only contributes to more bricks being laid

Goodbye cruel world
The singer says goodbye to the world

I'm leaving you today
The singer has decided to leave the world

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
The singer is saying goodbye to the world multiple times

Goodbye, all you people
The singer says goodbye to everyone in the world

There's nothing you can say
The singer does not want to hear anything else from anyone

To make me change my mind
The singer has made up their mind and will not change it

Goodbye
The singer says goodbye one last time
