So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
Tell me is something eluding you sunshine ?
Is this not what you expected to see ?
If you'd like to find out what's behind these cold eyes ?
You'll just have to claw your way through the
Disguise

Mamma loves her baby
And daddy loves you too
And the sea may look warm to you, babe
And the sky may look blue
But oooh babe
Oooh baby blue
Oooh babe
If you should go skating
On the thin ice of modern life
Dragging behind you the silent reproach
Of a million tear stained eyes
Don't be surprised, when a crack in the ice
Appears under your feet
You slip out of your depth and out of your mind
With your fear, flowing out behind you
As you claw the thin ice

Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snapshot in the family album
Daddy what else did you leave for me
Daddy what d'ya leave behind for me?
All in all it was just a brick in the wall
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall

When we grew up and went to school
There were certain teachers who would
Hurt the children anyway they could
By pouring their derision
Upon anything we did
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids
But in the town it was well known
When they got home at night, their fat and
Psychopatic wives would thrash them
Within inches of their lives

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave the kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave the kids alone !
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb
Mother do you think they'll like the song
Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls
Oooh ma mother should I build a wall

Mother should I run for president
Mother should I trust the government
Mother will they put me in the firing line
Oooh ma is it just a wasted time
Mother am I really dying

  Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
  Mama's gonna make all of your
  Nightmares come true
  Mama's gonna put all of her fears into you
  Mama's gonna keep you right here
  Under her wing
  She won't let you fly but she might let you sing
  Mama's gonna keep baby cosy and warm
  Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe
  Of course mama's gonna help build the wall

Mother do you think she's good enough 
For me?
Mother do you think she's dangerous 
To me?
Mother will she tear your little boy apart? 
Ooooh Ma
Mother will she break my heart?

  Hush now baby, baby don't you cry
  Mama's gonna check out all of your girlfriends for you
  Mama won't let anyone dirty get through
  Mama's gonna wait up 'till you come in
  Mama will always find out where you've been
  Mama's gonna keep baby healthy and clean
  Oooh babe Oooh babe Oooh babe
  You'll always be a baby to me

Mother, did it need to be so high ?

Ooooooooooooooooooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
Did you ever wonder
Why we had to run for shelter
When the promise of a brave new world
Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Ooooooooooooooooooh
Did you see the frightened ones
Did you hear the falling bombs
The flames are all long gone
But the pain lingers on

Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye blue sky
Goodbye

What shall we use to fill the empty spaces
Where waves of hunger roar
Shall we set out across this sea of faces
In search of more and more applauses
Shall we buy a new guitar
Shall we drive a more powerful car
Shall we work straight through the night
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the East
Contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people us pets
Train dogs
Race rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the wall

What shall we use to fill the empty
Spaces where we used to talk
How should I fill the final places ?
How should I complete the wall ?

I am just a new boy
A stranger in this town
Where are all the good times
Who's gonna show this stranger around ?
  Ooh I need a dirty woman
  Ooh I need a dirty girl
Will some cold woman in this desert town
Make me feel like a real man
Take this rock'n'roll refugee
Ooh Babe set me free
  Ooh I need a dirty woman
  Ooh I need a dirty girl 

Oh, my God!
What a fabulous world! Are all these your guitars?
God! This place is bigger than our whole apartment.
Can I get a drink of water?
You want some?
Oh wow! Look at this tub! 
Wanna take a bath?
What're ya watching? 
Hello? 
You feeling O.K.?  

Day after day, love turns grey
Like the skin of a dying man
Night after night we pretend it's all right
But I have grown older and
You have grown colder and
Nothing is very much fun any more.
And I can feel one of my turns coming on.
I feel cold as a razor blade
Tight as a tourniquet
Dry as a funeral drum

Run to the bedroom, in the suitcase on the left
You'll find my favourite axe
Don't look so frightened
This is just a passing phase
Just one of my bad days
Would you like to watch T.V. ?
Or get between the sheets
Or contemplate the silent freeway ?
Would you like something to eat ?
Would you like to learn to fly ?  Would you ?
Would you like to see me try ?
Oh, no!

Would you like to call the cops ?
Do you think it's time I stopped ?
Why are you running away ?

Oooh Babe
Don't leave me now
Don't say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you Babe
To put through the shredder
In front of my friends
Ooh Babe
Don't leave me now
How could you go ?
When you know how I need you
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
Ooh Babe
Don't leave me now
How can you treat me this way
Running away
Ooh Babe
Why are you running away ?
Oooh Babe !

I don't need no arms around me
And I don't need no drugs to calm me
I have seen the writing on the wall
Don't think I need anything at all
No, don't think I'll need anything at all
All in all it was all just bricks in the wall
All in all you were all just bricks in the wall

Goodbye cruel world
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye all you people
There's nothing you can say
To make me change 
My mind
Goodbye

Hey you ! out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me ?
Hey you ! standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me ?
Hey you ! don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you ! out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me ?
Hey you ! with your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me ?
Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone ?
Open your heart, I'm coming home

  But it was only fantasy
  The wall was too high, as you can see
  No matter how he tried he could not break free
  And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you ! out there on the road
Always doing what you're told, can you help me ?
Hey you ! out there beyond the wall
Breaking bottles in the hall, can you help me ?
Hey you ! don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

Is there anybody out there ?
Is there anybody out there ? 
Is there anybody out there ? 
Is there anybody out there ? 

I've got a little black book with my poems in
Got a big bag with toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometime throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues
I've got 13 channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home

I've got the obligatory Hendrix Perm
And the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
Got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
And I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home

I've got a pair of Gohill boots
And I've got fading roots...

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera ! Vera !
What has become of you? 
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?

Bring the boys back home
Bring the boys back home
Don't leave the children on their own
Bring the boys back home

Hello, Hello, Hello
Is there anybody in there ?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home
Come on now,
I hear you're feeling down
I can ease your pain
And get you on your feet again
Relax, Relax, Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts ?

  There is no pain, you are receding
  A distant ship smoke on the horizon
  You are only coming through in waves
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
  When I was a child I had a fever
  My hands felt just like two balloons
  Now I've got that feeling once again
  I can't explain, you would not understand
  This is not how I am
  I have become comfortably numb

O.K.,
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaah !
But you may feel a little sick
Can you stand up ?
I do believe it's working, good
That 'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go.

  There is no pain, you are receding
  A distant ship smoke on the horizon
  You are only coming through in waves
  Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
  When I was a child
   I caught a fleeting glimpse
  Out of the corner of my eye
  I turned to look but it was gone
  I cannot put my finger on it now
  The child is grown
  The dream is gone
  I have become comfortably numb

Ooh Ma ooh Pa
Must the show go on
Ooh Pa take me home
Ooh Ma let me go
There must be some mistake
I didn't mean to let them
Take away my soul
Am I too old is it too late
Ooh Ma Ooh Pa
Where has the feeling gone ?
Ooh Ma Ooh Pa
Will I remember the songs ?
The show must go on.

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to go to the show
To feel the warm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow
I've got some bad news for you sunshine
Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel
And they sent us along as a surrogate band
And we're going to find out where you fans
Really stand
Are there any queers in the theatre tonight
Get'em up against the wall
There's one in the spotlight
He don't look right to me
Get him up against the wall
And that one looks Jewish
And that one's a coon
Who let all this riff-raff into the room
There's one smoking a joint
And another with spots
If I had my way
I'd have all of you shot

Run, run, run
You better make your face up in
Your favourite disguise
With your button down lips
And your roller blind eyes
With your empty smile
And your hungry heart
Feel the bile rising from your guilty past
With your nerves in tatters
As the cockleshell shatters
And the hammers batter
Down the door
You better run

You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside. And if you
Take your girlfriend
Out tonight,
You better park the car
Well out of sight
'cos if they catch you in the back seat
Trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to mother
In a card board box
You better run.

Ooh You cannot reach me now
Ooh No matter how you try
Goodbye cruel world it's over
Walk on by

Sitting in a bunker here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come
In perfect isolation here behind my wall
Waiting for the worms to come

Waiting  to cut out the deadwood
         to clean up the city
         to follow the worms
         to put on a blackshirt
         to weed out the weaklings
         to smash in their windows
         and kick in their doors.
         for the final solution
         to strenghten the strain
         to follow the worms
         to turn on the showers
         and fire the ovens
         for the queens and the coons
         and the reds and the Jews
         to follow the worms

Would you like to see Britania
Rule again, my friend ?
All you have to do is follow the worms
Would you like to send our colored cousins
Home again, my friend ?
All you need to do is follow the worms.

Stop
I wanna go home
Take off this uniform
And leave the show
And I'm waiting in this cell
Because I have to know
Have I been guilty all this time.

Good morning Worm Your Honor
The crown will plainly show
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red handed showing feelings
Showing feelings of an almost human nature
This will not do

Call the schoolmaster
  I always said he'd come to no good
  In the end Your Honor
  If they'd let me have my way I could
  Have flayed him into shape
  But my hands were tied
  The bleeding hearts and artists
  Let him get away with murder
  Let me hammer him today

Crazy, toys in the attic I am crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away

  You little shit, you're in it now
  I hope they throw away the key
  You should have talked to me more often
  Than you did, but no you had to
  Go your own away. Have you broken any
  Homes up lately ?
  "Just five minutes, Worm Your Honor
  Him and me alone"

  Babe
  Come to mother baby let me hold you
  In my arms
  Lord I never wanted him to
  Get in any trouble
  Why'd he ever have to leave me
  Worm Your Honor let me take him home

Crazy, over the rainbow I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a door there in the wall
When I came in
Crazy over the rainbow he is crazy

  The evidence before the court is
  Incontravertable, there's no need for
  The jury to retire
  In all my years of judging
  I have never heard before
  Of someone more deserving
  The full penalty of law
  The way you made them suffer
  Your exquisite wife and mother
  Fills me with an urge to defecate
  Since my friend you have revealed your
  Deepest fear
  I sentence you to be exposed before
  Your peers

 Tear down The Wall !
 Tear down The Wall !

All alone, or in twos
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand
Some gathering together in bands
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall; after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers'
Wall
