Another brick in the wall

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

We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave those kids alone
Hey teachers, leave those kids alone
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall

"Wrong, do it again! Wrong, do it again!"
"If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?"
"You, yes, you behind the bike sheds, stand still, laddy"

"Wrong, Guess again! 2x
If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding.

Exercises

From present to past

Watch, listen and read

They just finished law school. They are looking for new jobs. They see an ad for a job opening at Torre & Associates. But they know it won't be easy.

Tom and his friends go to the office on the day of the interview. The hall is full of potential job candidates waiting to be interviewed.

Tom and his friends realized their chances of getting a job are pretty slim. So, they come up with an awesome plan.

The interviewer steps out of the office and calls for Mr. Goodman. Goodman is Bill's last name. So, he steps into the office. The interviewer looks at his resumé and asks, "What makes you think you qualify for this job?"

Bill pretends he is being harmed. He screams and makes a lot of noise. Joe pretends to be afraid. He stands up and walks out. The other interviewees start to leave too. They are scared out of their wits.

Bill continues to make a lot of noise. He slams himself against the wall. More interviewees start to leave. Meanwhile, Bill opens the door and hurls himself across the hall.

Everyone else leaves too...except for Tom. The interviewer looks at him dumbfounded and says, 'next'. Tom just smiles and waves.
