Pressure, pushing down on me

♪ ♪ ♪

Pressing down on you, no man ask for

Under pressure that burns a building down

Splits a family in two, puts people on streets

♪ ♪ ♪

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about

♪ ♪ ♪

Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher

Pressure on people, people on streets

Chippin' around, kick my brains around the floor

♪ ♪ ♪

These are the days, it never rains but it pours

People on streets

♪ ♪ ♪

People on streets

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about

Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!

Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man

Sat on a fence, but it don't work

Keep comin' up with love, but it's so slashed and torn

Why, why, why?

♪ ♪ ♪

Love, love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?

Why can't we give love that one more chance?

Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love

Give love, give love, give love, give love

'Cause love's such an old fashioned word

And love dares you to care for the people on the

Edge of the night, and love dares you to

Change our way of caring about ourselves

This is our last dance

This is ourselves

Under pressure

Pressure, pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure that burns a building down Splits a family in two, puts people on streets It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!" Tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people, people on streets Chippin' around, kick my brains around the floor These are the days, it never rains but it pours People on streets People on streets It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!" Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high! Pressure on people, people on streets Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence, but it don't work Keep comin' up with love, but it's so slashed and torn Why, why, why? Love, love, love, love, love Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love Give love, give love, give love, give love 'Cause love's such an old fashioned word And love dares you to care for the people on the Edge of the night, and love dares you to Change our way of caring about ourselves This is our last dance This is ourselves Under pressure Under pressure Pressure
