No Surrender

No surrender

You've got to stand alone

Until temptation has gone

Everybody's talkin' 'bout walkin' tall

But from this moment on

You've got to answer the call

No surrender

Steal all my bread

'Til my pocket's dead

I don't hear a word you say

Suck on my soul

'Til you've reached your goal

I'll never give myself away

No I'll never give myself away

Demolish my house

I'll scream and shout

But I won't do a thing you ask

Kick down my door

Or start a war

I'm never gonna let you pass

No I'm never gonna let you pass

No surrender

You've got to be a man

You have to make your last stand

Everybody's crying and trying to run

Hold fast and let them pass

The battle's hardly begun

No surrender

Shoot down my kite

Take king sized bites

Of the apples I know and love

Groove on my lot

Rip up my roots

I'll never let you get above

No I'll never let you get above

Dump on my lawn

And poison my corn

Drag my name all over town

Call up your guns

Everybody run

I'm still gonna cut you down

Yes I'm still gonna cut you down

No surrender

You cannot be afraid

Of mistakes that you made

Everybody's running for shelter

You know your destiny

You have to make the parade

No surrender

Steal all my bread

'Til my pocket's dead

I don't hear a word you say

Suck on my soul

I've reached my goal

I'll never give myself away

No I'll never give myself away

No surrender

You've got to stand alone

Until temptation has gone

Everybody's talkin' 'bout walkin' tall

But from this moment on

You've got to answer the call

No surrender
