From "Another Brick in the Wall, Part II":
>*We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone*
From "Comfortably Numb":
>*And the lunatics are on the grass
The sane are huddled in the masses
Tell me this, son, if your next of kin
Commits suicide*
From "Wish You Were Here":
>*We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?*
From "Time":
>*Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your hometown
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way*
From "Money":
>*Money, get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do, go on and get*
From "Echoes":
>*Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves*
From "Shine On You Crazy Diamond":
>*Remember when you were young you shone like the sun
Shine on you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky
Shine on you crazy diamond!*
