Educated by Pink Floyd


Just another brick in the wall,

Just another teacher saying, "don't run in the hall"

AP this AP that,

Why in the hell is there  rule that we can't wear a hat?

Maybe they're scared hats protect our brain,

maybe they're scared all the students are a little insane.

Maybe we are crazy,

maybe we were dropped on our head as a baby.

Who knows? Who cares?

Listen to some Floyd and it'll take you somwhere.

Instead of being a brick the wall,

take a risk, it's ok if you fall.

Don't be a robot, have a mind of your own,

every now and then it's ok to stand alone.

Have a little fun be a little loud,

you're the only pilot when your head's in the clouds.

Just another brick in the wall,

or are you the one kid, that dares to run in the hall?
