"Never Surrender"...I Said..."Never Surrender"

In these trying times for the Washington Capitals, some fans and maybe some players are losing faith way to fast. It's not time to panic, and it's not time to give up. If the Cap's were the type of team to give in so easily after getting on a down slide, they would not have come so far. They would not have made it into the playoffs this season. But, they have made it, haven't they? Now it's time once again to get the job done. Get on with it, and ..... Never Surrender!

Triumph performing "Never Surrender" at US Festival 1983

Out in the streets inspiration comes hard
The joker in the deck keeps handin' me his card
Smilin' friendly he takes me in
Then breaks my back in a game I can't win
Jivin', hustiln', what's it all about?
Everybody always wants the east way out
Thirty golden pieces for the judas kiss
What's a nice boy doin' in a place like this?

Chorus:
Never surrender - keep your dreams alive
Never surrender - hold your head up high

Modern apathetics; you got plenty of nothing to say
Some are born to follow: some will make their own way
Today you found a hero tomorrow you'll forget
You're lookin' for convenient truth you haven't found it yet
You don't make commitments no time for regrets
Easy come and easy go and easy to forget
You don't ever take responsibility
Don't you know that part of you is part of me?

Repeat Chorus

Never surrender, it's easier said than done
But you go to finish what's already begun
Never, that's forever, seems like such a long time
But I only got one life to live - it's gonna be mine

Never surrender - keep your dreams alive
Never surrender - hold your head up high
Never surrender - we cannot be denied
Never surrender - spread your wings and fly

...I Said...

Saxon performing "Never Surrender" in 2005

I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
Coming from the dark side
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back

Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

I'm sticking in the fast lane
I never gonna quit
I'm taking all my chances
I'm gonna take 'em quick
I started from the bottom
But I'm headin' to the top
There ain't nobody gonna help me boy
I'm never gonna stop

Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Stand up fight them all

I was born on the back streets
On the rotten side of town
I never had me nothin'
Just people puttin' me down
Coming from the dark side
Across the railroad track
Leaving wasn't easy
But I'm never going back

Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all
Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up fight them all

Never Surrender
Stand up fight them all
