Another Brick in the Wall performed by Pink Floyd from the album The Wall (Purchase from Amazon.com) about the cynicism caused by education, reflecting on education:
"We don't need no education We don't need no thought control No dark sarcasm in the classroom Teachers leave the kids alone"
"The little boy said, There are so many colors in the rainbow, so many colors in the setting sun There are so many colors in the rainbow, and I see every one."
"There are times when all the world's asleep, The questions run too deep for such a simple man Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd, but please tell me who I am"
"They tell you not to hang around And learn what life's about And grow up just like them, Won't let you work it out And you're full of doubt"
"See right through the red, white and blue disguise With lecture, I puncture the structure of lies Installed in our minds and attepting To hold us back"
"Teach your children well, their father's hell is just a goodbye, and feed them on your dreams the one they pick the one they live by, and don't you ever ask them why if they told you you would die so just look at them and sigh, and know they love you."
"School is like a twelve step brainwash camp. They make you think if you drop out you aint got a chance to advance in life and try to make you pull your pants up Students fight the teachers and you took away your handcuffs. And if that wasn't enough, then they expel y'all. Your people's understanding, but to them you a failure."
