Letra de The pressure

I can still remember when
At the tender age of ten
Mother told me I could be anything at all
Then when I was seventeen
Someone made that choice for me
And if I disagreed
I would end up on the street
Out on the street

We´ve been told for all our lives
This is who you have to be
Close your eyes go back to sleep
Don´t ask questions
Don´t ask why
Just do exactly as they say
But I don´t think that I can take
The Pressure
The Pressure

Looking back at twenty-one
I just wanted to have fun
But first I had to go make a name for myself
Now lately everywhere I go
Somebody wants to know
If something´s wrong with me
Because I´m not like them
I´m not like them

We´ve been told for all our lives
This is who you have to be
Close your eyes go back to sleep
Don´t ask questions
Don´t ask why
Just do exactly as they say
But I don´t think that I can take
The Pressure
The Pressure
The Pressure
The Pressure

Tired of justifying who I am
I long to ask for something
More than what we´ve all been told to
Do you think there´s something wrong with me

We´ve been told for all our lives
This is who you have to be
Close your eyes go back to sleep
Don´t ask questions
Don´t ask why
Just do exactly as they say
But I don´t think that I can take
The Pressure
The Pressure
The Pressure
The Pressure
