pressure - third wish lyrics

[verse 1]
in this world, guarantees are few
they say that death and taxes are sure to get you
but there’s another thing, a thing you can measure
once you feel it, you feel it, the thing is called pressure
in this world, pressure has power, strength that’s unreal
but what i’m here to tell you, brother, is that pressure breaks steel

[chorus]
from the pressure, the earth can’t hold
from the pressure (good god!), volcanoes explode
from the prеssure (you know), governments fold
from thе pressure (ha!), the story’s been told

[verse 2]
early morning traffic and it’s five before nine
well, if i’m late to work, the boss’ll have my behind
traffic so d*mn big i can hardly see
i’m moving one mile an hour, with my needle on e
(in this world) twenty minutes later, i’m out of gas
i call the tow truck up and i start walking fast
got to the office about an hour late
to find another’s name in my desk name plate
(in this world, how about your family? how will they eat?
what about your kids, with the shoes on their feet?)
see me holding back the pressure is pushing forth the tears
to be a grown man crying is my biggest fear
i want to deny the pressure, pretend it ain’t real
but you can’t deny pressure, ’cause pressure breaks steel
[chorus]
from the pressure, the earth can’t hold
from the pressure (good god!), volcanoes explode
from the pressure (you know), governments fold
from the pressure (ha!), the story’s been told

[verse 3]
across the street, i see children on the swings
yeah, the children of today are such different things
well, i remember my days of playing in the park
when my greatest concern was being in before dark
now there’s a little girl who had a little girl
she was a thirteen*year old
and [?] world
the father’s only nineteen, lives in a run*down trailer
he’s in jail so much, i thought he was the jailer
(in this world) she felt the strain on her family
and then we heard the news about her on tv
the news said “this kind of pressure, was more than you could deal
how could a child take the pressure, when pressure breaks steel?”

good god!

[verse 4]
see my homeboy on the block, he walks up with a smile
he’s wearing nike sneakers, michael jordan style
he says, “yo, king sl!ck, can you loan me some jack?
i got no food on my stomach, barely a shirt on my back”
(in this world) the rush to have the latest trends
is causing people to spend far beyond their means
eighty*five dollars for them air jordan sneakers
oughta come in a box with some hundred*watt speakers
peer pressure’s tough, some folks rob and steal
to be the fresh kid on the block with the s*x appeal
hey, that kind of pressure everybody feels
and sometimes we give in, ’cause pressure breaks steel
[verse 5]
africa, oh africa
can you feel the steam boiling deep inside of her
ethiopians are starving, we say “we are the world”
and we ease some of the hunger of the boys and girls
but now uganda has fallen to a military coup
and south africa is on a bl**dy [?] too
the boers are [?] diamonds and gold
and while the country gets rich, the brothers only grow old
but soon the pushing will be over, and the pressure will be through
can’t keep a man in a ditch unless you crawl with him too
you know that justice will find you, you feel it on your heels
and the pressure will bind you, ’cause pressure breaks steel

[chorus]
from the pressure, the earth can’t hold
from the pressure (good god!), volcanoes explode
from the pressure, governments fold
from the pressure (ha!), the story’s been told

[verse 6]
i read it in the paper [?] people selling out
little secrets to the russians, what our weapons are about
and reagan says chill, while south africa k!lls
he’s buying mx missiles, sending you the bill
so many things are happening, i could be forever rapping
about this world we live in today
and the pressure’s so tough, it just may be enough
to start the ultimate fireworks display
don’t let yourself become a part of the show
you tell the leaders of this world that you refuse to blow
and they can try to fight the pressure, if that’s how you feel
but i tell, you mr. reagan, pressure breaks steel
[chorus]
from the pressure, the earth can’t hold
from the pressure (good god!), volcanoes explode
from the pressure, governments fold
from the pressure (ha!), the story’s been told

[outro]
sa degrades, little children with aids
under pressure
give me cocaine, something to ease the pain
i’m under pressure
