Minks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the flag is down dressing up in colors
As the clash into the rival town
The playboys of the western world
Young aggression marching
On the cobblestones
The new artistic high class
Never had the feeling they belong
I remember standing there
Between the earth and air
Oh, they won't ever come between us
Another blew against his head
And he fell into the wall
It's better than just giving up
You can fight for what you
Want and have it all
The playboys of the western world
