No Apologies (full song with lyrics)

"No Apologies" is now streaming on BonJovi.com. They've taken measures to prevent us from ripping the audio, which makes sense from a commercial perspective, but it means I have to keep refreshing the page to listen to the song because the Listen/Stop button doesn't seem to work a second time. You'd think Bon Jovi could afford to have a website that looked good, worked, and didn't take forever to load, but apparently not... and I will not be apologising for that snipe. :P

Lyrics according to my ears:
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt

Let's start this from the happy ending
Just another white trash train track kid
Fightin' for survival
Tryin' not to do like his daddy did

Double down the devil at Three-Card Monte
No apology, he just knew when to quit
Push your luck, say your prayers
Make believe you don't care
Take a chance, sometimes it's all you need

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies
No apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
I think you're livin' somebody else's life
You can lie about retribution
But there ain't no fire in your lover's eyes
Seems like everybody's sellin' their dreams 'round here
But no one's buyin' and it's closing time
Light the fuse, make your breaks
There's no time left to waste
Baby, just like freedom, nothing's free

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies

You wanna start a personal revolution
What else you gotta do tonight?

No apologies
No apologies (no apologies)
We will not back down (no apologies)
We are not afraid (no apologies)
Not a drop of doubt (no apologies)
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies (no apologies)
No apologies
(no apologies)
No apologies
Hand in hand across this land
Our voices shouting out
No apologies

Corrections welcome. I'm particularly unsure about the "Three-card Monte" line, as I know absolutely nothing about card games.

If anyone has trouble getting BonJovi.com to work, listen to "No Apologies" here.

"This is Love, This is Life" will debut on BonJovi.com on October 25, and "The More Things Change" on October 27.

  2. Not a big fan of the sudden stop at the end but, otherwise, after 3 listens, I really like it. Plus, hey, GUITAR SOLO! :-)
