To know a bit more about their album The Wall click here.

Another Brick In The Wall - Part II belongs to one of the best known Pink Floyd albums The Wall and is the second of a three-part song all included on the same album.

On the plot of the movie with the same name that features the artist and activist Bob Geldof - representing the character based on Waters himself "Pink", this song appears "After being insulted by the teacher, Pink dreams that the kids in his school begin to protest against their abusive teachers."

"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! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall"

Pink Floyd, Another Brick In The Wall - Part 2

This shows a bit of my last gig, when I went to Pavilhão Atlântico - March 22, to see Roger Waters live playing my favorite Pink Floyd album "The Wall". Those kids that appear on stage, are portuguese children that live in Cova da Moura, one of the most problematic neighbourhoods in Lisbon. 


Another Brick In TheWall, Part 2 is probably one of the most known and recognizable song by Pink Floyd, not the best but is absolutely part of them!

"We don't need no education We dont 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 dont 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. "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 bikesheds, stand still laddy!" The most impressive thing of all?? The hole idea, the hole songs, the hole melodies, the entire show, the final story of the Wall was ALL but ALL created by Mr. Roger Waters. This 81:23 minutes of music came all from that man's head. He did this EPIC ALBUM all by himself, and that is absolutely extraordinary, IMPRESSIVE!

Hope you all enjoy it.


Love,

PS try to see the movie named "Pink Floyd: The Wall" it's the story of The Wall in movie, and the principal actor is Bob Geldoff. I totally suggest it!
