But theres no room to move cause the floor is packed tight

A voice in the crowd never surrender 
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda 
never surrender, we ll never surrender

The skins in the corner are staring at the bar 
The rude boys are dancing to some heavy heavy ska 
Its getting so hot people dripping with sweat 
The punks in the corner are speeding like a jet

Verse:  BASS PLAYS RIFF  
A bunch of peers march in on the d.m.s 
With some standing there saluting the air 
They wanna be pirates but the sea is not calm 
Tattooed crossbones on their arms

A voice shouts loud we ll never surrender 
A voice in the crowd never surrender 
A hand in the crowds flying propaganda 
never surrender, we ll never surrender 

Solo:    D   G   x4 

Verse:  BASS PLAYS RIFF 
The lights come alive in a blinding flash 
Dance hall clears as the mutants clash

Everyone leaves when the heavys arrive 
Someone hits the floor someone takes a dive
