"The happiest days of our lives"

When we grew up and went to school 

There were certain teachers who would 

Hurt the children any way they could 

By pouring their derision 

Upon anything we did 

And exposing every weakness 

However carefully hidden by the kids 

But in the town it was well known 

When they got home at night, their fat and 

Psychopathic wives would thrash them 

Within inches of their lives

In addition to education, the song “The happiest days of our lives” it is completely ironic. The most things that Pink had contribution were the fact that there were aggressions towards innocent people.  “Certain teachers who would hurt the children in any way they could…” this phrase is not “happy” at all, so here we find the irony between the title and what is going one.  Also, the constant repetition of the teacher punching the student back.

On fact we should highlight from the movie is the part where the students fall into the meat grinder; I see this metaphor as a symbol of “we all go to the same place” we are all in the same rubbish bag, we are so blind because of the system that we finally get to fall into them and even die because of them.
