Pressure
Pushing down o
n me
Pressing down
on you
No man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a b
uilding down
Splits a famil
y in two
Puts people on
streets

It's the terro
r of knowing
What this worl

Watching some
good friends
Screaming let
me out!
Pray tomorrow
gets me higher

Turned away fr

Sat on a fen

Keep coming up
with love
But it's so sl
ashed and torn
Why?
Why?
LoveLoveLove!
Insanity laugh

ure we're crac
king
[Verse 6]
Can't we give
ourselves one
more chance?
Why can't we g
ive love that
one more chanc
e?
Why can't we g
ive love give
love give love

Give love give

[Verse 7]
Cause love's s
uch an old fas
hioned word
And love dares
you to care
For the people
on the edge o
f the night
And love dares
you to change
our way
Of caring abou
t ourselves
This is our la
st dance
This is our la
st chance
This is oursel
