Another Brick In the Wall

Another Brick in the Wall I went to St Peters School in Cambridge The first time I ever heard Pink Floyd Was at my friends house during lunch break His name was Brendan And was kicked out of school for being disruptive Because he used to continually question teachers He was a member of Mensa and had an IQ of 127 at age 16 During lunch break we used to go to his house and hangout The only possession he had was a record player And a set of Pink Floyd records We were so obsessed with them We even went to see Syd Barret who was institutionalizes In a sanatorium in Cambridge We loved the album the Wall And one thing I learnt later was that Roger Waters Mum was a teacher Which when you hear the lyrics Hey teacher leave those kids alone Made me realize Never judge a book by its cover Don't just take words on face value Look to understand the context All in all we are all just another brick in the wall If we simply listen to a wall And never wonder how it was built
