Another Brick In The Wall
PINK FLOYD [TRIBUTE] 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?
Dad, what you 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




Overall Meaning

The song "Another Brick in The Wall" by Pink Floyd expresses the idea that society is a machine that crushes individualism and curiosity. The lyrics describe a father who has left his son behind and only left a memory in a photo album. The son, asking what his father has left for him, may be searching for his identity or a connection with his absent father. The idea of a father leaving behind a memory connects to the theme of abandoning individuality and being a part of a machine. The phrase "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" represents the idea that each person is just a small piece in a larger structure, powerless to resist the system.


The lyrics imply that education and societal norms are just part of the "machine" that we are born into. The song's chorus, "We don't need no education, we don't need no thought control," suggests that society is designed to indoctrinate people according to predefined norms and values. The phrase "All in all it was just a brick in the wall" is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that individuals are just one small brick in a larger system, and that the collective experience of society largely shapes a person's identity.

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 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
Teachers leave those 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
"Wrong, do it again! Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You, yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddy"

Hey, Teacher, 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 those kids alone.
Hey, Teacher, 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
