Lyrics

Mm-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 burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um-ba-ba-be
Um-ba-ba-be
De-day-da
Ee-day-da, that's okay
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets
Day-day-de
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-do-ba-be
Ee-da-ba-ba-ba
Um-bo-bo
Be-lap
People on the streets
Ee-da-de-da-de
People on the streets
Ee-da-de-da-de-da-de-da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
Let me out
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
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 so slashed and torn
Why, oh
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 the edge of the night
And love dares you to change your way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
