Lyrics No Surrender - Jack Bruce

No Surrender

Chorus I:
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
Chorus II:
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
Chorus III:
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
