Lyrics
Mmm num ba de

Dum bum ba be

Doo buh dum ba beh beh

Pressure

Pushing down on me, pressing down on you

No man ask for

Under pressure

That brings a building down, splits a family in two

Puts people on streets

Um ba ba be

Um ba ba be

Dee deh da

Dee deh da

That's okay

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

Watchin' some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"

Pray tomorrow gets me higher

Pressure on people, people on streets

Deh deh deh

Da da da ba ba

Okay

Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor

These are the days it never rains but it pours

Ee doh ba beh

Ee da ba ba ba

Um bo bo

Buh lah

People on streets

Ee da dee da deh

People on streets

Ee da dee da dee da dee da

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

Watchin' some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"

Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high, 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 coming up with love but it's all slashed and torn

Why? Why? Why?

Love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

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

Because 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 our last dance

This is ourselves under pressure

Under pressure

Pressure
