When the Lights Go Down - Triumph

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 easy way out

Thirty golden pieces for the Judas kiss

What’s a nice boy doin' in a place like this?

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

Never Surrender, it’s easier said than done

But you got 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 — we cannot be denied

Never Surrender — spread your wings and fly
