Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
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
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

Overall Meaning

The iconic lyrics from Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” are echoed in Ben Liebrand and Sascha Liebrand’s rendition, “Proper Education”. The lyrics express a powerful message against the conventional education system and its approach towards teaching kids the subjects. The song starts with the students protesting against the education system, claiming that they don’t need it and asking their teachers to leave them alone. They reject the notion of thought control and dark sarcasm in the classroom, rejecting any form of authoritarianism that teachers may try to impose upon them. The lyrics conclude by proclaiming that it's just another brick in the wall, implying that the system fails to see the unique qualities of each child and instead just sees them as indistinguishable blocks in a rigid structure.


The song captures the sentiments of the 1979 Pink Floyd version, which became an anthem for many young people who felt that their voices were not being heard by the establishment. By remaking the song, Ben Liebrand and Sascha Liebrand brought the message to a new generation, calling on them to question the status quo and push against the norm. The catchy tune and the powerful lyrics make for a song that is both entertaining and uplifting.

That piano intro is a touch of sheer art, definitely the best version of "In the air tonight". I was a teen when the series was aired and I have nothing but fond memories of this amazing show and the whole atmosphere of the 80's.

A combination of two of the best memories of the 80’s. An expanded modelling of Phil Collins and Miami Vice that really works. Excellent. Cheers from Sydney, AU.
