"You! You! Yes, you! Stand still, laddie (мальчик)!"

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt (обидели бы) the children anyway they could.
By pouring their derision (насмешка)
Upon anything we did
And exposing (выставляя напоказ) every weakness
However carefully hidden (спрятан) by the kids.

"What have we here laddie?
Mysterious scribblings (надписи)?
A secret code?
No - poems, no less - poems, everybody!
The laddie recons himself (считает себя) a poet!

'Money gets back
I'm all right Jack
Keep your hands off my stack
New car, Caviar,
Four star daydream
twinkle by me
A football team'

Absolute rubbish (мусор), laddie!
(smack!)
Get on with your work! (Давай принимайся за свою работу)
Repeat after me:
An acre is the area of a rectangle (прямоугольник) whois legs ....

But in the town it was well known
When they go home at night, their fat and
Psychopatic wives would thrash (стегают) them
With in inches (дюймы) of their lives.

We don't need no education.
We don't need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave them kids alone.
Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all (в общем) it's just another brick (кирпич) in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.

"Wrong, Do it again!"

"If you don't eat your meat (мясо), you can't have any pudding."

"How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?"

"You! Yes, you laddie!"

"... poems, everybody! The laddie recons himself a poet!"

Hey! Teacher! Leave us kids alone!
All in all it's just another brick (кирпич) in the wall.
All in all you're just another brick in the wall.
