No Surrender

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Well, we busted out of class

Had to get away from those fools

We learned more from a three minute record, baby

Than we ever learned in school

Tonight, I hear the neighborhood drummer sound

I can feel my heart begin to pound

You say you're tired, and you just wanna close your eyes

And follow your dreams down

Well, we made a promise, we swore we'd always remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night with a vow to defend

No retreat, baby, no surrender

And now, young faces grow sad and old

And hearts of fire grow cold

We swore blood brothers against the wind

Now I'm ready to grow young again

And hear your sister's voice callin' us home

Across the open yards

Well, maybe we could cut some place of our own

With these drums and these guitars

'Cause we made a promise, we swore we'd always remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend

No retreat, baby, no surrender, hey

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Now on the street tonight, the lights grow dim

The walls of my room are closin' in

There's a war outside still raging

You say it ain't ours anymore to win

I wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies

In my lover's bed

With a wide open country in my eyes

And these romantic dreams in my head

'Cause once we made a promise, we swore we'd always remember

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend

No retreat, baby, no surrender

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
