Lyricist: Bruce Springsteen
Lyrics:
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
Review:
Born in the U.S.A. is an album painted in big,
broad strokes. But it was still too subtle for
some--namely politicians who tried to tap the
title track as a jingoistic anthem when it is in
fact a bitter diatribe by a Vietnam War vet whose
country forgot him. The rest of the album is a
glorious grab bag of radio-ready populist
anthems--his best display of pure pop songwriting
ever--including "No Surrender," "Dancing in the
Dark," "Bobby Jean," and "Glory Days" alongside
more circumspect numbers such as "My Hometown" and
"I'm On Fire." It's not true that there's no
arguing with success, but in this case
Springsteen's widespread acclaim was warranted.
With Born in the U.S.A., all those predictions
from a decade earlier--that Springsteen was the
future of rock--had come true. --Daniel Durchholz
