We busted out of class had to get away from those fools,
we learned more from a three minute record 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.
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.
Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold.
We swore blood brothers against the wind,
I’m ready to grow young again
and hear your sister’s voice calling us home across the open yards.
Well, maybe we could cut someplace 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.
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.
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.
No retreat, baby, no surrender.
