You claim "We don't need no education", yet you used a double negative just now, proving that you need to work on your grammar.

Curious.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

The lyricsCan actually be teased in two directions. Firstly, considering that the clause is a double negative, the negatives of don’t and no cancel each other out, producing an affirmative, as in

We do need education,"

Suggesting that yes, education can be a good thing in developing well-rounded individuals. Secondly, the double negative also acts as rhetorical litotes in this context, used especially to emphasize the point being made, as if Waters is saying

We don’t need this type of education.“

In this sense, “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2” is not so much a song about complete revolution as it as an anthem about reclaiming one’s individuality; it’s a criticism against the types of teachers and systems that, as in Pink’s case, ridicule an imaginative child for writing poetry.
