Lyrics "The Wall" Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1).
Daddy's flown across the ocean Leaving just a memory A snap shot in the family album Daddy what else did you leave for me Daddy what d'ya 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 ____________________________________________________________ The Happiest Days Of Our Lives. When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children anyway they could By pouring their derisions Upon anything we did And exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kids But in the town it was well known When they got home at night, their fat and Psychopatic wives would thrash them Within inches of their lives ____________________________________________________________ Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2) We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave the kids alone Hey, teacher, leave the kids alone ! All in all it's just another brick in the wall All in all you're just another brick in the wall ____________________________________________________________ Mother. Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb Mother do you think they'll like the song Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls Oooh ma, mother should I build a wall Mother should I run for president Mother should I trust the government Mother will they put me in the firing line Oooh ma, is it just a wasted time Mother am I really dying Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mama's gonna make all of your nightmares come true Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you Mama's gonna keep you right here under her wing She won't let you fly but she might let you sing Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe Of course mama's gonna help build the wall Mother do you think she's good enough for me Mother do you think she's dangerous tell me Mother will she make your little boy a toy Ooh ma, mother will she break my heart Hush now baby, baby don't you cry Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you Mama won't let anyone dirty get through Mama's gonna wait up 'till you get in Mama will always find out where you've been Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe You'll always be a baby to me Mother, did it need to be so high ? ___________________________________________________________ Goodbye Blue Sky. Ooooooooooooooooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfouled beneath a clear blue sky Ooooooooooooooooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye Questions on the song “The Wall” by Pink Floyd
