No Surrender

Well, we bursted out of class Had to get away from those fools We learned more from a 3-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 want to 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 Well, 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 calling us home Across the open yards Well maybe we'll cut someplace of 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 Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim The walls of my room are closing in There's a war outside still raging You say it ain't ours anymore to win I want to sleep beneath Peaceful skies in my lover's bed With a wide open country in my eyes And these romantic dreams in my head Once we made a promise we swore we'd always remember No retreat, baby, no surrender Blood brothers in a stormy night With a vow to defend No retreat, baby, no surrender Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
