Intro: (x2) 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 neigbourhood 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 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 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 yard Well maybe we can cut someplace of our own With these drums and these guitars Cos 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 BREAK: (x2) Well now on the streets tonight the lights grow dim The walls of my room are closing in There's a war outside still raging You say it aint ours anymore to win I want to sleep beneath peaceful skies In my lover's bed With the wide open country in my eyes And these romantic dreams in my head Because 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
