'Free Four' is a song by the English rock band Pink Floyd, written by Roger Waters and released on the band's 1972 album Obscured by Clouds.^[1][2]

Recording and lyrics[edit]

The song begins with a rock and roll count-in, but in this case Pink Floyd decided to play with words and record, 'One, Two, Free Four!' The song deals with reflection of one's life, the 'evils' of the record industry, and also makes a reference to Roger Waters' father who was killed in World War 2.^[3] The music begins in an upbeat manner, while the lyrics tell a very cynical and somewhat depressing story. 'Free Four' was released as a single in the U.S. in 1972 but did not chart.

Pink Floyd - Money Lyrics. Money, get away. You get a good job with more pay and you're okay. Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash. Lyrics: Pink Floyd: The Wall. The Wall Lyrics In The Flesh? So you thought you might like to, Go to the show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion, That space cadet glow. Tell me is something eluding you, Sunshine?

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 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

When such characters have to employ a morally dubious weapon but, this will almost always be the go-to rationalization. Conclusion:. The argument goes that once a weapon has been invented it will inevitably proliferate and be used, and therefore the only sane response is to use it as early and often as possible.
