Waters' vicious attack on teachers who practice "dark sarcasm in the classroom" was inspired by the cruelty of his own schoolmasters. "The school I was at -- they were really like that," Waters said. "They were so fucked up, [all] they had to offer was their own bitterness and cynicism." "Another Brick" is rendered in three versions on The Wall, but "Part 2" was the hit.
