Bruce Springsteen - No Surrender lyrics

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 no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night with a

vow to defend, no retreat no surrender

No 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

We made a promise we swore we'd

always remember

no retreat no surrender

Like soldiers in the winter's night with a

vow to defend, no retreat no surrender

Blood brothers in the stormy night with a

vow to defend no retreat 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
