text: 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 heart the neighborhood drummer sound
  I can feel my heart begin to pound
  You say youre tired and you just want to close your eyes and follow your dreams down
  We made a promise we swore wed always remember
  No retreat, baby, no surrender
  Like soldiers in the winters night with a vow to defend
  No retreat, believe me, no surrender
  Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
  We swore blood brothers against the wind
  Now Im ready to grow young again
  And hear your sisters voice calling us home across the open yards
  Believin we could cut someplace of our own
  With these drums and these guitars
  We made a promise we swore wed always remember
  No retreat, believe me, no surrender
  Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
  No retreat, believe me, no surrender
  Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
  The walls of my room are closing in
  Theres a war outside still raging, you say it aint ours anymore to win
  We could sleep in the twilight by the river side
  With a wide open country in our hearts
  And these romanics dreams in our heads
  We made a promise we swore wed always remember
  No retreat, baby, no surrender
  Like soldiers in the winters night with a vow to defend
  No retreat, believe me, no surrender
  Alternate 3rd verse :
  Now on the street tonight the lights grow dim
  The walls of my room are closing in
  But its good to see your smiling face and to hear your voice again
  We could sleep in the twilight by the river side
  With a wide open country in our hearts
  And these romantic dreams in our heads
