Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
It splits a family in two, puts people on streets
[Verse 2]
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
(Tomorrow, takes me higher)
Pressure on people, people on streets
[Verse 3]
Okay
Chippin' around, kick my brains across the room
These are the days it never rains but it pours
[Verse 4]
People on streets
People on streets
[Verse 5]
It's the terror of know what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
(Tomorrow, takes me higher)
Pressure on people, people on streets
[Verse 6]
Turn away from it all like a blind man
Sat on the fence, but it don't work
Keep comin' up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why
I want to know, know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know
[Verse 7]
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking
[Verse 8]
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love
Give love, give love
Give love, give love
Give love
[Verse 9]
'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 our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
[Verse 10]
Under pressure
Pressure
[Verse 11]
Thank you so much
Thank you, goodnight
