No Surrender Lyrics
Artist: Bruce Springsteen
Well, we bursted out of class
Had to get away from those fools
We learned more from a 3-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 dreams down
Chorus:
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 yards
Well maybe we'll 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 in the stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, 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
Once we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in a stormy night
With a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh
Ohhhhh Ohhhhh Ohhhhh

Comments/Interpretations
they didn't burst out of class, they busted.... duh.
Bruce played this on Sat in Cardiff.... it's our anthem from the early '80's,the words are still emotive and a reminder to keep the dream alive - no retreat, no surrender. Thanks Bruce... and yes, it is 'busted'!
great song !
I wrote this song *chuckles*
...must be the best ever?
A very under-rated song in the boss' catalogue
My favorite song of all time. It is my ring tone on my cell phone.
i love this song to death and im like the only 13 year old in my school who loves this song. its so awesome!!
Always a homerun live!
This song gives me sanity in life at times and ranks on my 10 top favorites
It's one f my favourites songs, really positive message. I like it!
No surrender!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eugč...no surrender!!
One of my all-time Bruce favs without a doubt, he opened up with this song when I saw him in Manchester last May, brilliant !
BRUUUUUUUUCE!!!!!!!!
I love Bruce and even more so after Hard Rock Calling last summer in London. I only 'found' this song when downloading a load of his other stuff recently. Wish I'd found it sooner, along with "Gypsy Biker".
Great, great song. I play it loud and my head swells at every turn. Probably the only Nigerian who loves it. Great, great song!!!!!!!
i like no surrender, come on Bruce!!!!!!!!
incredibly gifted songwriter
The Boss certainly lives up to his name with this one. My all time favourite song. Like the comment earlier says, a homerun when he belts it out live!
One of the best songs ever. Great. I hope the boss will be one hundret years !!
Need chills up your spine?
Grab The Boss and The E Street Band live in London and listen to this baby, simply awesome and inspirational!!
They do not write songs like this anymore and they never will!!
Yess in london with brian fallon from gas light anthem..amazin day amazin show..not the boss hes GOD
My mission statement:
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
Everything I know about love, friendship, respect and being who I am, I've learned from this song! "...learned more from a 3-minute record..." So f•••••g true! Long live Bruce!
i have always loved rock music but this one i play it everytime and it gives me pimples especially'''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''
a true American poet sblessongs to live by love his concerts love him god
Dedicated to my Brothers on Tattoo
no retreat no surrender is sure a hit. Bruce still rocks my world. Have about two hundred of his songs. And each stands out!
I love this song..i played for like a thousand times. i only had this one song of Bruce, and now i'm searching his other songs. help find as many songs as i can please..
when I depart this world this is the song I,m going to take with me
I love this song. I sing my baby to sleep with it every night, and if it doesn't do the trick, I move on to Thunder Road. :-)
Awesome!
I beat pancreatic cancer and damn sure walking my daughter down the isle to “no surrender”. Thank you Bruce!
