Guess who just got back today?
Them low-life boys out of Galilee
Something's changed; they're much too brave
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were actin' as if He was still around
Talkin' in tongues and freakin' me out
Told us He was livin' right now
Tried to say the Lord had raised Him

The boys aren't backin' down, the boys aren't backin' down
The boys aren't backin' down, the boys aren't backin' down
The boys aren't backin' down, the boys aren't backin' down
The boys aren't backin' down, the boys aren't backin' down

You know that cripple who couldn't stand or walk?
Every time he'd be on the floor beggin' what we got
Man, at the temple, he would do it at the same spot
I mean he was scenery
Then, that guy, you know he met John and Pete
Well, that cripple got up and leapt on his feet
Man, we just yelled in disbelief
If that's a trick, I wanna know, it's clever
CHORUS

They're spreadin' the word around --they're not backin' down
They're spreadin' the word around

Friday Christ, well, He'd just been killed
I didn't see those followers thrilled
They laid low 'cause blood would spill
And if the boys wanna preach Christ we're gonna get 'em
That kook's out on the corner yackin' now and sayin' we're wrong
Them guys are gettin' bolder -- it won't be long
Won't be long till trouble comes -- now that the boys aren't fearin' it
CHORUS

The boys in Acts, the boys in Acts

The boys aren't backin' down again
They hail them now as heroes
The boys aren't backin' down again

Acts 4:13
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus.
