Proper Education
Eric Prydz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
We don't need no education
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.
(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
We don't need no education
The lyrics to Eric Prydz's song Proper Education are a modern interpretation of Pink Floyd's classic track, Another Brick in the Wall. The original song is a scathing critique of the education system, which Pink Floyd portray as a system of control that aims to brainwash children and prevent them from thinking critically. Eric Prydz's version retains the same basic message but updates it for modern ears, with pulsating rhythms and a more electronic sound.
The lyrics contain several references to the original song, most notably the repeated refrain of "We don't need no education," which is a direct quote. The line "No dark sarcasm in the classroom" is also a reference to a line from the original song, where the teacher is accused of using "dark sarcasm in the classroom" to manipulate his students. However, whereas Pink Floyd's version is a dark, brooding track that reflects the oppressive nature of the education system, Eric Prydz's version is more upbeat and danceable, suggesting that the solution to the problems of the system is to rebel against it in a more positive way.
Overall, Proper Education is a powerful statement about the need for children to be taught to think critically and to resist the attempts of authority figures to control their thoughts and actions. It is a potent anthem for anyone who has ever felt frustrated or oppressed by the system and is a reminder that music can be a powerful tool for social change and protest.
