No Surrender
Well, we busted out of classHad to get away from those foolsWe learned more from a 3-minute record, babyThan we ever learned in schoolTonight I hear the neighborhood drummer soundI can feel my heart begin to poundYou say you're tired and you just want to close your eyesAnd follow your dreams down
Chorus:Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always rememberNo retreat, baby, no surrenderLike soldiers in the winter's nightWith a vow to defendNo retreat, baby, no surrender
Well, now young faces grow sad and oldAnd hearts of fire grow coldWe swore blood brothers against the windNow I'm ready to grow young againAnd hear your sister's voice calling us homeAcross the open yardsWell maybe we'll cut someplace of ownWith these drums and these guitars
'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always rememberNo retreat, baby, no surrenderBlood brothers in the stormy nightWith a vow to defendNo retreat, baby, no surrender
Now on the street tonight the lights grow dimThe walls of my room are closing inThere's a war outside still ragingYou say it ain't ours anymore to winI want to sleep beneathPeaceful skies in my lover's bedWith a wide open country in my eyesAnd these romantic dreams in my head
Once we made a promise we swore we'd always rememberNo retreat, baby, no surrenderBlood brothers in a stormy nightWith a vow to defendNo retreat, baby, no surrender
