Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
Lifted from "Pink Floyd The Wall" film, this video is actually comprised of two songs: "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" and "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" This video became the official video of "Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2" after the release of the film in 1982.
This single is by far Pink Floyd's greatest ever mainstream success, instantly attaining classic status, and is perhaps their most famous piece of work.
ABINTW Pt. 2 even became the protest song of a group of South African students during the apartheid regime, the song was subsequently banned in South Africa.
The song itself is a protest against the rigidity of British schools, and in particular, the boarding school system Waters would have been part of as a young boy.
The poem read out by the schoolteacher is a direct reference to "Money"
The schoolteacher in this video was portrayed by the late, great, Scottish actor Alex McAvoy who passed away in June 2005.
If you haven't seen "The Wall" I would Highly recommend you to do so.

Comments from YouTube
50 synchronizedAlmost 50 years since, this song still resonates today. All over the world young minds are so compromised. We still haven't found the right way to educate. Maybe we never will.
0i can't believe this video... after so many decades
1A song with lyrics I wrote, inspired by the revolutionary song “Another Brick in the Wall” Read it believe me you will love it
1We don't need no education
We don't need no dictatorship
Called education
No lies seem wonderful
No democratic colonization
And keep talking about the freedom
Where is the freedom?
Where is the freedom?
After all of that brainwashing
After all of that watching
Eyes everywhere and no wings around
You are around us from everywhere
And you keep calling it a free democratic education
No, that's not a fucking education
No, that's not a fucking democracy
No, that's not a fucking freedom
We don't want anything from your pink colonization
From your pink colonization
Just leave us alone
Just leave us alone
Outside of your wall
The wall you said would protect us
The truth is the opposite of that
'Cause it protects you from us
We thought it's a warm wall
But the truth is it's a cold war
We can't take it anymore
We can't take it anymore
We can't breathe anymore
'Cause there is no hole in the wall
So we will break the whole wall
And it will be a hot war
You started it, not us remember
There is no solution but us
The peace duty is calling us
The peace duty is calling us
There is no peace without war
The time has come
The right time is now
So we have to be brave and bold
Or the cold fire will keep burning our souls
Let's put it out
Let's put it out
With our hot war
It will be our war
It will be our war
The us war
The us war
It will be the peace war
It will be the peace war
The peace war
The peace war

2How It Applies to Political Corruption.
2"The System" is the WallIn this context, the "wall" represents a massive, entrenched system of political corruption. It is a structure built to protect the powerful, hide illegal actions, and block accountability.
The "Bricks" are the Enablers
A single corrupt politician cannot maintain a broken system alone.
The "bricks" represent the individual people, laws, or actions that keep the corrupt system standing:
Complicit Officials: Politicians who look the other way to protect their party.
Dirty Money: Individual bribes, dark money contributions, or kickbacks.
Bad Laws: Legislation written specifically to protect special interest groups.
Complacent Citizens: People who accept corruption as normal, inadvertently strengthening the system.Stripping AccountabilityJust like in the
Pink Floyd song, being a "brick in the wall" means the individual loses their moral identity. Corrupt politicians often justify their actions by claiming they are "just following the rules of the game" or doing what everyone else does, hiding their personal guilt behind the massive size of the system.
They were way ahead of their time
Here in 2026
Yes, floor 796
27Who came from a site floor796? 😂
97The anthem of schools in England
1Still going on today.
2The matrix-system has been turning the diverse, unique, and unrepeatable humanity into identical bricks for years and centuries...😢
4Nothing has changed so far – it even got worse.
3Pink floyd warned us already about child trafficking but we understand this masterpiece after epstien files 😢

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! (if you don't eat yer meat)
Yes, you behind the bike stands (you can't have any pudding)
(How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?) Stand still, laddy!
You! Yes, you behind the bike stands...
The fact that they show kids being ground in that machine like meat sausage and now in 2026 we find out that indeed sick people are eating humans, is just irreal, they knew something we didn't know until now.....

Great song, great album, great movie.
9Pink Floyd wasn’t a band, it was an art collective. Artists pur sang.
The modern education has so many similarities to this. Both actual and metaphoric.
2The curriculum is much the same as this but even less relevant today.
I was disturbed and loved the "movie" as a kid when I found it in my parent's collection. This one was the most disturbing
11I am a 2nd year college student right now, and it makes me tear up a bit knowing how this song is still dead on accurate with today's education system. I knew this song since I was a kid and was honestly terrified of the video, but now I'm horrified because what this song says is true.
777The director, Alan Parker, doesn't get any credit. The technical aspects of this scene (hell of this entire movie) are mind-blowing. The average person will simply enjoy the song which is of course a masterpiece but the fact that someone thought to shoot this scene this way in the 1980s is astonishing. May you rest in peace, Mr. Parker. You will forever be remembered for giving us such a feast for the eyes.
972Fun fact: The poem the teacher reads out is the lyrics to Money by Pink Floyd
892I remember a old teacher we had in school hated pink floyd smh 🤦 we especially played this song just to piss her off because she was so strict and demoralizing
282Most anti-authoritarian Rock song. Timeless.
498Those who dislike the song are the education ministers of all countries.
847We don't need no Marck Zuckerberg.
951Zuckerberg! Leave those thoughts alone!
Roger Waters told Facebook CEO FU today when he requested to use this song to promote the expansion of facebook. Thank you Roger Waters!
642Mark Suckerberg just offered Rodger Waters a boatload of money for the rights to this song. His response? F No! Good on Waters.
1,748Day 10 listening to Pink floyd everyday for 1 year.
248i remember when my dad was addicted to this song and make me listen to haha. he always sang to me and made hand gestures as if he had a guitar in his hand, we laughed a lot. to this day, if I say "HEY" in the tone of the song, he repeats "TEACHER!" lmao. today he is still alive and likes to see old musics of his time
633I first heard this song in 1979 when I was in the 8th grade. I am over 50 now and my grade school daughter loves this song. Pink Floyd's music endures over multiple generations...like fine classical music. Shine on!

my teacher used to play this when we were younger, now, 5 years later i actually understand what it's about
1,539Pink Floyd will always be relevant. Their music is actual art.
965The song is about killing a child’s individuality and uniqueness. Putting them through the “system,” turning them into just “another brick in the wall.”

"We don't need no education"
697-Me, in 2021 right now
This song isn't just about education system. It's about the whole system. Think!
3,973The dislikes are from teachers
5,749What a irony, im listening to this while im doing homework
846The part where the kids fall in the meat grinders, and the people on the train’s masks used to scare the fuck out of me. And give me goosebumps to this day
251"We don't need no education! We don't need no thoughts control.... Teachers, leave those kids alone ! " Pink Floyd :(
349John 3:16-19
okay but this song makes me feel like I should put this on the school speakers without getting caught
2,035The song is 40 years old, based on schools 60 years ago/1950s and yet still relevant today.
