I was born on the back streets

On the rotten side of town

I never had me nothin'

Just people puttin' me down

Living on 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 world

Never surrender

Stand up fight them all

Never surrender

When you're up against the world

Never surrender

Stand up fight them all



I'm sticking in the fast lane

I never wanna quit

I'm taking all my chances

I'm gonna take 'em quick

I started at the bottom

But I'm headed to the top

Ain't nobody gonna hold me back

'Cause I'm never gonna stop



Never surrender

When you're up against the world

Never surrender

Stand up fight them all



Never surrender

When you're up against the world

Never surrender

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

I'm living on the darkside

Across the railroad track

Leaving wasn't easy

But I'm never going back



Never surrender

When you're up against the world

Never surrender

Stand up fight them all



(Repeat to end)
