Another Brick In The Wall (Part 1).
Daddy's flown across the ocean
Leaving just a memory
A snap shot 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
Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2).
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers 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
Another Brick in the Wall (Part 3)
I don't need no arms around me
And I dont 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.
Review In Poem by Dexter
Puzzled by infant eyes,
Neglected children play chess with rodents.
The unrealized pain,
Spawns the rebellious confusion.
The System Grinds,
The cold programming churns uncaring in design,
Refusing individuals,
All must be processed to the values.
Madness, the final brick in the wall.

Seuss' unique mind is what will always set him apart from his contemporaries. His visual style is every bit as impressive as Disney and as off the wall as Tex Avery.
