Under Pressure/Rhythm Nation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you
No man ask for
Under pressure
That tears a nation down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets
Um ba ba bay
Um ba ba bay
Dee day duh
Dee day duh
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream (let me out)
Pray tomorrow (pray tomorrow)
Take me higher (higher high)
Pray tomorrow (higher high, high)
Take me higher, oh
Why, oh, why, ay
Tell me why
(Tell me why)
(Tell me why)
Can't we give ourselves (one more chance)
Why can't we give ourselves (one more chance)
Why can't we give love
Give love, give love, give love
(Give love, give love, give love, 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 people on the
Edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
(This is our last dance)
This is ourselves
Creatures of the world unite
Strength in numbers, we can get it right, one time
