Plot[]
Keeping with the topic of Pink's terrible school experience presented on the previous track, "The Happiest Days of Our Lives", "Another Brick in the Wall (Part ll)" shows Pink scathing criticizing the school and those teachers, proclaiming they quit their abuse and "leave those kids alone". Pink then goes on to say that these teachers were another factor in him distancing himself from society.
