After that time, they were little more than a dinosaur act, capable of filling stadiums and topping the charts, but offering little more than a spectacular re-creation of their most successful formulas. The song, along with "The Show Must Go On", was edited out of the film for fear on the part of the filmmakers that the film was running too long; however, a rough version is available as an extra on the 25th Anniversary Edition DVD. Despite their astral image, the group was brought down to earth in the '80s by decidedly mundane power struggles over leadership and, ultimately, ownership of the band's very name. When Gilmour put in his fair share of work, so he feels entitled to the money he earned. He needs someone to help him and he regrets his attempt to isolate himself from the world.Worms are a symbol for decay throughout the album. Waters provided the basic music and lyrics, while the whole band created the instrumental jam of the song. I’m all right Jack keep your hands off my stack  Money, it’s a hit. The repetition of "Hey You' indicates that the person in the song is desperate to have a connection with other people and bring back his sanity. Since the mid-'60s, their music relentlessly tinkered with electronics and all manner of special effects to push pop formats to their outer limits. Hey You starts the second CD of The Wall, directly after Pink realizes that his wall of isolation he has built around himself is complete. Think i’ll buy me a football team  Money get back. We teach kids in school to start worrying about what job they will get when they leave and there’s societal pressure to go to college to make sure you can get a good one.Whether you like it or not, humans run on money. Pink Floyd is the premier space rock band. Anyway my goal of writing to you is I like the way you describe what hey you meant you sound like someone that knows his pink floyd and your description is so clear (I always found that it sounded complecated listening to pink floyd, probably main reason I didnt when i think about it, that you need to see the movie to understand and if you want to listen to wish you were here album well to fully understand it you need to listen to the wall, or to listen to the wall well theres more then one, anyway it was weard for me at that time...) And since yesterday I checking forums and facks about them, I spent 4 hours on reading what people were saying about the meaning of wish you were here, anyway a thing brouht me to another... and so today I went to check the meaning of hey you and I read you, and wanted to know, as a fan, and probably understanding my kind of music based on the 3 I like, would you suggest me to rent the movie, or listen to a album... What should I do first that would open my curiousety and interest for them, where should I stard.. or not really worthed ill probably get board and by not paying full attention ill miss the magic of it..... anyway, so sorry to write you a big message like that, but i would like to want to be more interested in pink floyd (...and some songs Ive heard were so boring like only 3 phrase in it... but i still dont judge cause probably I need to understand the concept) tks ... and sorry....

Pink is refering to those who have just realized like him that they are alone in the world, becoming cynical with their Bury the light of hope. Share it fairly, but don’t take a slice of my pie  money,so they say, is the root of all evil today. "Hey You" is Pink trying to call out to the outside world but realizing that his communication has been cut. At the same time they wrestled with lyrical themes and concepts of such massive scale that their music has taken on almost classical, operatic quality in both sound and words.
