Under Pressure (SMASH Cast Version) Lyrics

[IVY]
Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for

[KAREN]
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

[JIMMY]
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming

[JIMMY & ANA]
"Let me out!"

[ANA]
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets

[TOM]
Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days - it never rains but it pours
[JULIA]
People on streets - people on streets

[IVY]
It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about

[KAREN]
Watching some good friends
Screaming

[KAREN & IVY]
"Let me out!"

[IVY]
Pray tomorrow gets me higher and higher and higher

[KAREN]
Pressure on people - people on streets

[EILEEN]
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work

[DEREK]
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
[JIMMY]
Why, why, why?

[SAM]
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking

[IVY]
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?

[JIMMY]
Why can't we give love that one more chance?

[KAREN]
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love

[KAREN & JIMMY]
Give love, give love, give love, give love?

[ALL]
'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
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure
