Canadian band Blurred Vision, led by two exiled Iranian brothers, will change the lyrics to Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick In The Wall' to reflect the struggle of young Iranians, according to The AP.
Waters said that this new version grew out of his interest in assisting people around the world that are in need of help.
"I applauded and supported the resistance of schoolchildren in South Africa to that repressive and brutal regime, and also applaud and support the resistance of Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank to the repressive and brutal occupation they endure," said Waters.
The song's music video, directed by Secret Ballot filmmaker Babak Payami, has been seen by over 235,000 viewers on YouTube.
