VERSE 1
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
CHORUS
Well we made a promise
We swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Like soldiers in the winter night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
VERSE 2
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 some place of our own
With these drums and these guitars
CHORUS
'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
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
VERSE 3
Now on the street tonight the lights go 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
CHORUS
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
Oooohhhhh Oooohhhh Oooohhhh
Oooohhh Oooohhhh Oooohhhh
Oooohhhhh Oooohhhh Oooohhhh
Oooohhh Oooohhhh Oooohhhh
