The most important piece of art since the french revolution 1789. When writing for weeks on my dissertation (later a book), I listened ONLY to The Wall - on cassette tape. Every 45 minutes I had to turn the cassette ;-)
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick in the wall.
I don't need no arms around me
And I dont need no drugs to calm me.
I have seen the writing on the wall.
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother should I build the wall?
Mother should I trust the government?
Hush now baby, baby, dont you cry.
Mother's gonna make all your nightmares come true.
Mother's gonna put all her fears into you.
Mama's gonna check out all your girlfriends for you.
Mama wont let anyone dirty get through.
Mother, did it [The Wall] need to be so high?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home
I've got thirteen channels of shit on the TV to choose from
You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run [like Hell]
[Verse 1: Prosecutor]
Good morning, Worm your honour
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do
Call the schoolmaster!
....
[Verse 5: The Judge]
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible
There's no need for the jury to retire
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law
The way you made them suffer
Your exquisite wife and mother
Fills me with the urge to defecate
(Go on, Judge, shit on him!)
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers
Tear down the wall!
[Outro: Crowd]
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
Tear down the wall!
