Lyrics
What they promised
Expressing disappointment or disbelief in unfulfilled promises
Will now comes true
Confirmation that what was promised is now becoming a reality
Don't tell me girl
Addressing a girl and emphasizing her lack of prior knowledge or awareness
You should've knew
Criticism or reproach for not being aware of the situation
Plastic gangsters and two bit hoods
Referring to deceptive or insignificant individuals (plastic gangsters and two-bit hoods)
Heading for the nineties in their kid gloves
Describing a generation heading into the 1990s with naivety and overconfidence
Rolly, rolly
Possibly a rhythmic or nonsensical expression, lacking clear meaning
Heading for the prize of the king clown
Heading towards a dubious or undesired achievement, represented by "king clown"
They say that money's
Asserting the belief that money is the root cause of criminal activities
The root of all crime
Highlighting an opposing perspective, acknowledging people who seek fame and success
But I know people
Introducing the theme of "Hearts & Minds"
Who just love the big time
Reiteration of the theme, emphasizing its significance
Hearts & Minds
Repetition of the central theme, asserting the unwillingness to surrender "Hearts & Minds"
Hearts & Minds
-Hearts & Minds
-You can't have our Hearts & Minds
-Tomorrow is girl
Acknowledging the arrival of a new day or opportunity
Another day
Encouraging someone to move forward, leaving behind the past
Come with me and
Invitation to join in a journey or experience, focusing on the present moment
Forget today
Suggesting the importance of living in the present and not dwelling on the past
Hearts & Minds
Reaffirmation of the unwillingness to give away "Hearts & Minds"
Hearts & Minds
-Hearts & Minds
-You can't have our Hearts & Minds
-Little by little, little by little
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the gradual and persistent nature of the resistance
Little by little, little by little
-Hearts & Minds
-Hearts & Minds
-Hearts & Minds
-You can't have our Hearts & Minds
Final assertion of the refusal to yield "Hearts & Minds"
