Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My back is against the wall
More bills than money to pay
But I know just who to call on
When I need relief I pray, to help me fight
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
[Verse 2]
Playin' on the tension and your weakness are addictions
That lure your mind you can fight it
You can win
For you deliverance, just bow your head and pray
[Verse 3]
To help you fight the pressure, the pressure, the pressure
Pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
[Verse 4]
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
[Verse 5]
We all have our burdens to carry
I know when mine get too heavy
He's always there to bear the load
Give me strength and comfort any time I need relief
From the pressures of the world I just believe
[Verse 6]
I need relief
Pressure's everywhere
Pressure of the world
I need relief
When I'm down and out
Can't see my way out
I need relief from the pressure
The pressures of the world
Addictions in my mind
And that is no peace of my mind
I need relief
From the pressure, the pressures of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world
The pressure, the pressure, the pressure, pressure of the world ...
