Under Pressure

I am sitting here doing my work for a class that I am taking on the book of James, I have to come up with four sermons on the book.

So, I am here working on the first and I have found myself drawn to the words of the song “Under Pressure” as performed by My Chemical Romance.

What a great song! Lyrics about how pressure can break people down, split families, put people out on the street, pressure coming from coming to grasp some of the realities of life and watching others go through the tough stuff of life. Realizing that the answer is not found trying to ignore the problems, or in not committing to action, but it IS found in love!

Q: What is love?

A: God!

Check out the lyrics to “Under Pressure” here—>

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
da da da
da da da
da da da
Ee day da – that’s okay
Its the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Pressure on people on streets
Eaaa
be da da da – okay
Chippin’ around kick my brains around the floor
These are the days it never rains but it pours
be da do
be da do
be da do
be da do
People on streets – ba da dee da de
People on streets – be da dee da dee da dee da
It’s the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Scream ‘Let me out’
Pray tomorrow takes me higher
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don’t work
I keep coming up with love
but it’s so slashed and torn
Why – why – why ?
Love love love love love love love love
Insanity laughs under pressure we’re cracking
Can’t we give ourselves one more chance
Why can’t we give love that one more chance
Why can’t we
give love x9
‘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 ways of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure (echos x2)
