Pressure, pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Oh, under pressure, that burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on streets

Ba-da-dum
Ba-da-dum
Be-de-da
Be-de-da
That's okay!

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream, "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people, people on the streets

De-da-dum
De-da-dum

Chipping around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days, it never rains, but it pours


Be-de-dum
Be-de-dum
Be-de-dum
Be-de-dum
People on streets
Ba-da-de-da-de
People on streets
Ba-da-de-da-de-da-de-da-de

It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream, "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me hi-i-igher

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? Why? Why?
Love, love, love, love, love
Insanity laughs under pressure, we're cracking

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 ways of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance, this is our last dance, this is ourselves
Under pressure (Under pressure, under pressure)
