No Surrender - Live at Meadowlands Arena, E. Rutherford, NJ - August 1984

This one's for friendship

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 want to close your eyes
And follow your dream down

Well, we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers on a 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, even we could 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 on a summer's night, with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender

Now, out on the street tonight the lights are growing dim
The walls of my room are closing in
But it's good to see your smiling face
And to hear your voice again

Now, we can sleep in the twilight
By the riverbed
With a wide open country in our hearts
And these romantic dreams in our heads

As we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers on a summer's night, with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
No retreat, baby, no surrender
