Springsteen, Bruce - No Surrender Lyrics






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

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

Now young faces grow sad and old and hearts of fire grow cold
We swore blood brothers against the wind
I'm ready to grow young again
And hear your sister's voice calling us home across the open yards
Well maybe we could cut someplace of our 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

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

No retreat, baby, no surrender

Su onda es la roquera como Bruce, me encanta es un genio y sufrió tanto en su infancia y adolescencia q le costó mucho llegar a ser lo q hoy es el Jefe Bruce sprinter

    2013 London, what a great setlist. I've heard so many songs wich I still love the most while I'mmwatching this concert in 2013 and I'm not done with watching at all. I wish I was there in 2013. I feel 15 again since yesterday, since I'd started watching this concert in London lol. My youth is Bruce Springsteen and the E street band since he made The River record (2). I grew up with his music. Still loving it. Great artist and band.
    Still miss Clarence, the big man, next to Bruce. How he'd played his sax..........

      J'ADORE. ♥ ️ ️ ⭐️ DES PERFORMANCES EXCEPTIONNELLES !!! C'est comme une sainte communion, Bruce ne chante pas, témoigne-t-il. L'une des plus belles œuvres qui m'ait jamais frappé. LE RESPECT! Bruce était une puissance vocale plus jeune ... un peu plus modéré maintenant. Le meilleur des années 70, 80 et début des années 90 les a séduits dans l'industrie de la musique. De très grands chanteurs comme Simon & Garfunkel, The Everly Brothers, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Perry, Lionel Richie, PETER CETERA, REO Speedwagon, The Eagles, Dire Straits, The Beatles, Sting, GENESIS, BRYAN ADAMS et Phil Collins vont gagner le cœur et l'esprit des milléniaux lorsqu'ils essaient d'écouter leurs chansons.

  18. J.... J....

    my favorite line from this song is, “C’mon, Steve!”

  19. A.... X....

    That Max Weinberg can still play the crap out of some drums can’t he? Wow!!!

    K.... B....

    I wonder if he's ever TRIED to play a "full" drum set...

    K.... B....

    The MIGHTY Max for a reason

    K.... B....

    @Cliff Smith he might be actually quite good with a full kit... LOL

    K.... B....

    I love the fills he plays and always comes back dead on the beat, great player!

  53. s.... ....

    I seriously don't know how I am going to handle is passing....love him!!

    s.... ....

    I feel the same way!❤ I've loved Bruce since I was 15 and he was 26! I heard Thunder Road one day at a friend's house in 1975 and I've been hooked ever since!

  54. J.... ....

    I've always known as miles Lofton always picks that way with his thumb and a pic around his thumb I thought that was unusual but I've since noticed some other guitar players that have the same style like Jeff Beck the Great Blues guitarist

    J.... ....

    That would be Nils Lofgren.........

  55. M.... P....

    Canzone bellissima lui è il meglio solo lui scrive canzoni così belle

  56. c.... p....

    C'era una versione stupenda perché l'avete fatta rimuovere?

  57. L.... F....

    extraordinaire !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  58. p.... 1....

    I never get tired of listening to The Boss.

  59. S.... B....

    El mejor... El Boss.

  60. M.... P....

    Maravillosa cancion!!!!!!

  61. A.... A....

    No surrender.Fantastisk.

  62. D.... T....

    Never liked Bruce, and I'm from Jersey.
    Guy also turned into a serious assbag.

  63. J.... P....

    Great energy from the boss

  64. g.... ....

    I love this song and wish Bruce would shut up about political shit. In the USA we do have some heart and soul in music but then you hear these slobbering socialists like they have a deal with the devil spout all kinds of crap. Bruce LOVE your music and what its done for the world but your hollywood liberal gibberish is very disturbing.

    g.... ....

    shut up fool

  65. O.... I....

    Yeah, after 35 year still sound amazing. Man, I wanna cry.

  66. J.... M....

    JJJJJJ GGGGG

  67. G.... G....

    Jednostavno, BOSS

  68. C.... F....

    Grazie di esistere Bruce. Patrimonio dell'umanità

  69. T.... B....

    This is magic!

  70. K.... E....

    How does Nils not have massive arthritis in his thumb?

  71. V.... B....

    Love 💘 Love 💘 forever 💕💕💕

  72. V.... D....

    The Boss
    The Man ❤️🔥🔥❤️🇺🇲🤘

  73. P.... S....

    ❤️🤗🌹

  74. G.... M....

    Grazie Bruce la tua musica è la colonna sonora della mia vita... Sei grande unico

  75. V.... B....

    Dio come te AMOOOOOO 💘 Bruce 💘

  76. C.... M....

    ❤❤💙😇BRUCE👏✌👐❤❤💙

  77. S.... D....

    Such a joyous song

  78. C.... G....

    I liked seeing their playlist at 42 seconds list. Drummers cheat sheet. I’d do the same thing. Cheers Bill

  79. B.... C....

    I also think "I wanna sleep beneath peaceful skies in my lovers bed, with a open country in my mind and these romantic dreams in my head" is one of the MOST beautiful lines EVER written. First time I heard this song, I loved the beat, words and rythem. It tells a story with heart and passion. It truly is one of Bruce's most underated songs. In my eyes it was right up there with all the other great tunes on Born in the USA which is one of the GREATEST albums EVER period!

    B.... C....

    So true such a great great great lyric

  80. N.... C....

    with "Born to run" it's "MY" song 💚 love it

  81. T.... A....

    Bruce is anti American Hillary butt boy punk

    T.... A....

    I'm stumped. Why do the pygmies, those who have accomplished *nothing*, criticize the Giants, those who have accomplished *everything*? Or am I wrong? What have you accomplished, Mr. Anderson? Please, tell us of your stature.

  82. �.... ....

    it's unfair. My dad got this and I got lil pump

    �.... ....

    Maybe in 30 years you will see comments like: "It's unfair. My dad got Lil Pump and I got this"

    �.... ....

    I recommend you a band called Red Can. They are pretty new but they are good! I just came across with them a month ago and thank I did! They play rock music.

    �.... ....

    Check out a band called Southbank Crows too. Right up your street if you like Bruce and they’re brand new.

  83. A.... p....

    i LOVE sURRENDER

  84. R.... C....

    I don't think I ever realized how special the 1970' s would be it was truly a magical time, I think for us.

    R.... C....

    This was from the 80's but hey, who cares?

  85. C.... ....

    This song is my favorite song from Born In The USA album, next to Downbound Train and My Hometown.

  86. j.... h....

    Me and a buddy moved from NY to San Diego in '84 the year I graduated and all we had in the mustang was Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen cassettes. Good freakin times man!

    j.... h....

    The boss,says it all.

    j.... h....

    Awh. Timeless!!!!

    j.... h....

    The much missed Tom Petty

    j.... h....

    Cassettes........ oh my, the youth from nowadays don't even know how we played music in our cars back then, cassettes. Ohh, the tape broke, we have to tape a new one.......Later we had the cd's for the car radio, wow, better sound..
    Now it's a smal stick with lots of music on it or spotify with the best sound. We are getting old lol.

  87. P.... F....

    I first heard this when I used to comb my dark brown hair back. I still come my hair back but it is near white. I guess I am a "Roquero Plateado".

  88. g.... d....

    Man you are THE BEST!

  89. D.... B....

    The Boss has really held up well over the years - voice and all. Thanks for the post!

  90. R.... W....
