Song lyrics
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

Bah bah dah bah bah dah
(Yeah, yeah)

That's okay!
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets

Okay!
Bah bah dah bah bah dah

Chippin' around
Kick my brains round the floor
These are the days
It never rains but it pours
Bah bah dah bah bah dah

People on streets
Bah bah dah
People on streets
Bah bah dah

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow takes me higher (higher)

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!

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?

Cause love's such an old fashioned word
(give love, give love, give love, give love, give love)
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

Here's what I think: This cover is a disgrace to the song. No one does it like Mercury and Bowie. They can sing, damn it!

They never should have covered this song. It ruined it. The only people who should be singing this now is David Bowie. Sry anyone who like MCR but as usual, the original was better.

i love the way bert and gerard sing together it is SOOOO awsome i want to puke

Ok, first of all, that makes no sense.


Secondly, they did not use a sample of vanilla ice, vanilla ice used a sample of the original 'Under Pressure'.


Third, to all the people who say that if you like/don't like My Chemical Romance or The Used you should go die or whatever. Ok, not everyone's taste in music is the same. Some people like this type of music, others don't. That's fine. Get over it and let people listen to what they want.


Finally, I love this song. Both bands are amazing.

Alright loves. You guys are having a miniature war here against which version is better, but i think it's impossible to judge that. I like almost every kind of music, which includes old and new, and i can't even try and judge the MCR cover against the original. They're different because they're done in the different styles of each band. Okay? And just for the record MCR and The Used are the beeeeestest ever 333
Gerard=love.

MCR are really good, and this is an OK cover, but it really isn't as good as the original.

Hey there all used fans and my chemical romance fans.....this song fucks everything! seriously! when i heard this song the first time i almost cried. see you have to understand the meaning of the song before you can truly interpret their singing. The meaning explains why they scream when they scream. And whoever said that this is "pop-punk" you are so fucked in the head!!! Do you here them sounding anything like simple plan or good charlotte? not that they're bad bands but honestly!!! get over yourselves and listen to the words! understand the meanings. Songs are more than just music or something to listen to when you are bored...they make you think. This song is amazing by both the MCR & the Used version and the Oueen/Bowie version. They have slightly different meanings but they get their points across.
also, ever heard of that saying that if you dont have something nice to say dont say anything at all? im not saying to not have an opinion but honestly...be intelligent
