Under Pressure
Queen feat. Adam Lambert Lyrics

Mm-noom-ba-deh
Instrumental intro

Doom-boom-ba-beh

Doo-boo-boom-ba-beh-beh
Instrumental intro

Pressure pushin' down on me
The feeling of being overwhelmed and constantly under stress

Pressin' down on you, no man ask for
The burden of pressure often affects everyone, even those who never asked for it

Under pressure that burns a building down
The negative impact of pressure can be severe and destructive

Splits a family in two, puts people on streets
Pressure can lead to division and displacement of families and individuals

Mm-ba-ba-beh, mm-ba-ba-beh
Instrumental break

Dee-day-da, ee-day-da
Instrumental break

That's okay
Acknowledging that everything may not be alright

That's the terror of knowing what this world is about
The fear of living in a world that is unpredictable and uncertain

Watchin' some good friends screamin', 'Let me out'
Witnessing loved ones suffer under the weight of pressure and stress

Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Hoping for a better future, free from pressure and stress

Pressure on people, people on streets
The impact of pressure can reach far beyond individual lives and affect the whole community

Da-da-da, mm-mm
Instrumental break

Da-da-da-ba-bum
Instrumental break

Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
Feeling mentally and physically drained by pressure

These are the days it never rains but it pours
When it rains, it pours; when one problem arises, more often follow

Ee-doh-ba-buh, ee-da-ba-ba-bop
Instrumental break

Mm-bo-bop, beh-lup
Instrumental break

People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-day
Life goes on despite the challenges and pressures faced by people

People on streets, ee-da-dee-da-dee-da-dee-da
Life continues with its ups and downs

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Avoiding the pressures and problems of the world

Sat on the fence but it don't work
Being indecisive or neutral does not help

Keep comin' up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Trying to come up with solutions and support, but facing challenges and opposition

Why, why, why?
Questioning why things are the way they are

Love
Love is important and necessary to overcome pressure and challenges

Insanity laughs under pressure we're breaking
The impact of pressure can be mentally and emotionally devastating

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Asking for another opportunity to do better, support one another and overcome pressure together

Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Love can help to overcome pressure and better the world

Give love, give love, give love, give love
Reiterating the importance of love and support

Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
Love may seem traditional, but its meaning is still powerful and necessary

And love dares you to care for
Caring for others is an act of love and can help overcome pressure

The people on the edge of the night
Those who feel alone, isolated, or struggling need compassion and care

And love dares you to change our way of
Love challenges us to change and be better, for ourselves and for others

Caring about ourselves
Self-care is important to overcome pressure and to care for others

This is our last dance
Life is short, and every moment counts

This is ourselves
We are the ones responsible for our actions, choices, and the world we live in

Under pressure
Pressure is a common and often challenging aspect of life

Under pressure
We are all under pressure and need support and love to overcome it

Pressure
The song concludes with a repetition of the single word, reminding us of its impact and significance
