Another Brick in the Wall

We don't need no education.

We don't need no thought control.

No dark sarcasm in the classroom.

Obama 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.

(Muchisimas Gracias to Silly Rabbit -- and Pink Floyd, of course.)
