Under Pressure

Under pressure ... under pressure The old guard says I gotta toe the line or the good life's gonna pass me by They put the weight of their world upon me and tell me to fly It's like it's all planned out; every movement; every step I take And if I ain't subservient then my chance for success is gonna fade away Under pressure ... pressure ... pressure Under pressure - it feels like it's out of control Under pressure - my head wants to explode Under pressure - it claws at my heart and soul Under pressure - but I ain't giving in Status quo doesn't know my dreams or what it takes to achieve them And I don't want anybody else to tell me what to believe in I'm my own harshest critic and I never think I'm good enough But I don't need gutless cyber judgements that can lift a selfish, sorry ego up Feel the pressure ... feel the pressure ... feel the pressure Under pressure - it feels like it's out of control Under pressure - my head wants to explode Under pressure - it claws at my heart and soul Under pressure - but I ain't giving in Don't tell me what I need or what I oughta be; I'll live my life I don't buy-in to your vision; I will make my own decision what is right Let the sinless standalone and be the first to cast the stone; just as you preach I don't want to reach your measure so forever I'll endeavor to be me ... to be me ... to Be me Under pressure - it feels like it's out of control Under pressure - my head wants to explode Under pressure - it claws at my heart and soul Under pressure - but I ain't giving in Under pressure
