The Hardest Part Lyrics
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist no overnight big money
Take ya to Brazil
Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge
Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh need to feel some hardened steel
Deliver the big money deal
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal
Inside the armored car, ride two big armed guards
In a bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Twenty five tons of hardened steel, rolls on no ordinary wheel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Nitro and acetylene open la machine
No short heist no overnight big money
Take ya to Brazil
Bulletproof vest, shatterproof glass, overdrive we're gonna pass
Time bomb, greasy mob, count down ,hurry up, come on
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
In a wire mesh cage with a twelve gauge
Radio - we're coming fast
Ooh need to feel some hardened steel
Deliver the big money deal
Of the armored guard here's what I heard
I'll tell you that he will no matter what you feel
The hardest part of the armored guard
Big man of steel behind the steering wheel
Twenty five tons of hardened steel deliver the big money deal

It's about an armoured car robbery. I really like this song!
This is actually one of my favorite songs! It's so fun to sing along with like in the car or something...it always reminds me of these scenes I see in movies about New York crime life during the 80's
:)
I think of the Hemingway story "the Killers," when I listen to this song. The lyrics about the armored car robbery might be a metaphor about sex. She's trying to seduce this dude that she's calling the "armored guard," and the big money deal is the orgasm that she's hoping for.
I LOVE this song. Yes, it's about an armed robbery but there is another level to it - the "hardest part", "coming fast" and "needing some hardened steel" - doesn't take much imagination to fugure out what that's about. Blondie were fond of putting dirty jokes in their songs from time to time. Cool song, and a proper rocker.
I have to say that this one is my least favourite blondie tune...I have no idea what it's about, however.
