Roger Taylor
Under Pressure (Live at the Milton Keynes Bowl, 5th June 1982)
[Intro]
Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge: Freddie Mercury]
Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da- that's okay

[Chorus]
It’s the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

[Verse 2]
Day day de
Day day de de de
(Okay)
Chipping around, kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
De do da
De dap
People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da
[Chorus]
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, high
Pressure on people, people on streets

[Bridge]
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?
Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking

[Verse 3]
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that 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?

[Outro]
Because 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
Under pressure
Pressure
[Audience Cheering]
