But if the intent was to rail against blind authoritarianism, I get that, but somehow I can see too many listening to that song and jumping to anarchy. There is something to be said about fighting abuse of authority, but that should not come at the cost of devaluing education.
Buy the album, roll a spliff, chill.
That song is just one part of a story and the main character is a crazy and depressed rock star who has all sorts of crazy moments, like hallucinating that he's a fascist dictator in a neo Nazi rally whilst in a drug induced stupor.
And by the way, Pink Floyd shits all over Abba any day of the week.
That's just a fact, sorry.
