Another Brick In The Wall
Korn爀 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy, what else did you leave for me?
Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
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 teachers
Leave those 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
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey teachers
Leave those kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

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
Don't think I need anything at all
No, don't think I'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say




To make me change my mind
Goodbye

Overall Meaning

The song Another Brick In The Wall by Korn is a cover of Pink Floyd's original track with the same name. The lyrics of the song talk about the theme of conformity and the education system. The first verse talks about Daddy leaving across the ocean and leaving only a memory. It also shows the rift between the father-son relationship which is denoted by the line "Daddy, whatcha leave behind for me?" This suggests that the son was left with nothing but memories of his father's departure. The line "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" denotes the insignificance of the father's actions in comparison to the larger world.


The chorus "We don't need no education" is repeated twice in the song, which shows the disinterest of the students in gaining knowledge from the education system. They believe they do not need any thought control or influence from a higher authority. The line "No dark sarcasm in the classroom, teachers leave them kids alone" suggests the students want to be left alone and not dictated on how to behave or think by their teachers. The line "All in all you're just another brick in the wall" implies that the system doesn't care about the individual and considers them just another piece of the larger system.


In the last verse of the song, the singer says he doesn't need anyone's protection, referring to the line "I don't need no arms around me." He also says he doesn't need any drugs to calm him down. The singer has "seen the writing on the wall," which means he understands the system's flaws and doesn't need anything at all. The song concludes with the singer expressing his angst and deciding to leave the world behind.

your reading this, ok look im not gonna lie, you hate that one self promoter guy, but I honestly believe I’m the notorious BIG reincarnated, if not then biggie and pac are my spirit guides on my left and right, and. I think I’m going to become the greatest rapper of THIS ERA, Sure I might kinda suck at the moment but that won’t stop me, roast my music or praise it, for my confidence knows no bounds, enough of these trash rappers thinking they’re music is anything but regurgitated garbage that all sounds the same, how bout a mediocre rapper that’s self aware and doesn’t take anything seriously and mocks the industry and has fun amongs the chaos ? i would appreciate the feedback and harsh criticism along the way though 🙏✌️🔥

im an australian rapper that was rejected by my nation and will get back at them through these malicious rhymes 🤙👹

make sure to roast my OTHER songs too, 🙏🔥
