Pink Floyd classic turns Iranian protest song

It's been an anthem for rebellion for young people everywhere, but now two Iranian exiles are hoping the Pink Floyd classic, "Another Brick in the Wall" will help their cause.

And band founder Roger Waters has no qualms about giving the band permission to tinker with the classic song, AP reports.

Toronto-based band Blurred Vision, which is fronted by two exiled Iranian brothers, has reworked the lyrics to express the resentment felt by young Iranians toward their government. One well-known verse has been changed to "Hey, Ayatollah, leave those kids alone!"

Waters says he encourages artists to use the song to resist all forms of oppression. He says he sees the band as playing a vital part in "the resistance to a regime that is both repressive and brutal."

Waters took time from rehearsing for his upcoming world tour to address the issue.
