I was born on the back streets
on the rotten side of town
I never had me nothing
just people pulling me down
I'm livin' on the dark side
across the rail road track
Leavin' 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 wanna' quit
I'm takin' all my chances,
I'm gonna take them quick
I started from the bottom,
I'm headin' to the top
Ain't nobody gonna help you boy,
'cause we're never gonna stop
Never surrender
When you're up against the wall
Never surrender
Stand up, fight them all
