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 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
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)
