Under pressure
Commentary
One of the British band Queen's greatest hits is a testimony of modern life. The familiar lyrics of "Under Pressure" go like this:
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
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, "Let me out!"
Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people -- people on streets
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
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
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming, "Let me out!"
Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people -- people on streets
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
