Song lyrics
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah 
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah 

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, bah, bah, bah, bah 
Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah 

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 

Doh doh doh bah bah bah bah 
O-kay 
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor 
These are the days it never rains but it pours 
People on streets, dee doh dee da dee, people on streets
Dee doh dee da dee da dee da 

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 

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 

Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking 
Can't we give ourselves one more chance 
Why can't we give love one more chance 
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love 

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 way of 
Caring about ourselves 

This is our last dance (x2) 
This is ourselves 
Under pressure 
Under pressure 
Pressure

It's such a great and nice song so why'd Vanilla Ice have to steal it, i guess he couldnt come up with his own songs so he had to steal Queen's. Queen roxx!!!

Hmmmm, interesting. It's very early in the morning and I just downloaded this song because well, I couldn't not. If anyone was in my position I guess you'd understand. I like it, maybe not as much as _____ but hey, who knows what kind of music that person's in to? I've been meaning to find that out for a while now... but you know me, always the moment ruiner. Anyhow, this caffeine is doing silly things to my tired brain so I'm gonna go.

What a sin vanilla ice shamed it by stealing its bass line
What an even bigger shame that My Chemical Romance covered it
Isnt that considered blasphemy? Great song all the same.
