Lyrics

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
