Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pushing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
[Verse 2]
That's okay
It's the terror of knowin'
What this world is about
Watching some good friend scream
Let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
[Verse 3]
Chippin' around
Kick my brains 'round the floor
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 knowin'
What this world is about
Watchin' some good friend scream
Let me out
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Yeah
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Why, why, why?
Love
[Verse 8]
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're crackin'
Can 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
[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 ways
Of caring about ourselves
[Verse 10]
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
