Here are the lyrics to "Another Brick in the Mason's Wall" -- a rap version, approved by Roger Waters, of Another Brick in the Wall, that appears on A Fair Forgery of Pink Floyd:
I'm just another brick inside the Mason's Wall
But I'm the head cornerstone who can ruin it all
The population needs to get hip to the hustle
10 percent live in abundance while the rest struggle
I'm on the left coast of Babylon living in fear
If God's coming for retribution, I don't want to be here
When the comet hits or the bomb drops
And to the wicked administrations and corrupt cops, bad teachers and false prophets
Ya'all gonna pay
The pain for yesterday's atrocities, we're feelin today
And it's a sad state for those who choose to ignore it
competin with the Joneses and nuthin to show for it
Cold world people, caused by the love of money
And in this Cap Idol Ism, aint a damn thing funny
24-7 live mind control
The man got us plugged in, slowly stealin our souls
Grab hold of your faculties with the time you're alloted
The new world is in order and the course has been plotted
Stand in line for the chip and the farm, you bought it
Hey Teachers, why don't you leave those kids alone
We don't need no education, no mind control, we need love, peace and hapiness all over the globe
We don't need no education, no mind control, we need love, peace and hapiness all over the globe.
My public education never meant shit to me
That's why I'm out here grindin, trying to peddle this weed
I know a lot of smart brothers with college degrees
But when it comes to makin paper
They're broke at the knees
Shit, I never knew the meaning of a GED
It stands for Grindin Every Day, or your ass won't eat
You ever wonder why they call LA the melting pot?
They added pistols, crack and AIDS just to see what they got
It's called genocide, with a very specific purpose
Killing blacks and Latinos and all of us should be nervous
You need proof?
Look what they did to the neighbors
Small pox, booze and treachery, the Devil's creative
Police Chiefs wanna slap 'em in a reservation
I'm talking project tenements to the plantation
And in the penitentary, they're doing castrations
Puttin poison in the food so you can't taste 'em
But the trickery ain't foolin me, I'm schoolin the youth
And we don't need no education, what we need is the truth
Hey Teachers, why don't you leave those kids alone
We don't need no education, no mind control, we need love, peace and hapiness all over the globe
We don't need no education, no mind control, we need love, peace and hapiness all over the globe
