The throbbing’s started in my head

Here it comes again; think I’ll soon be dead

The pressure’s mounting on my brain

But I just can’t stop the pain

Things build up and they get on top

And the headaches they just won’t stop

 

I’m on a pressure drive

To insanity

On a pressure drive

Baby, can’t you set me free

 

People just keep on at me

Problems they cause, they just can’t see

Forced to socially conform

These days you’re dead before you’re born

They screw me and they never cut me no slack

Like a burden, yeah they’re always on my back

 

I’m on a pressure drive

To insanity

On a pressure drive

Can’t somebody set me free?

Help me

 

Now shake me

 

I’m on a pressure drive

On a pressure drive…..

Can’t somebody set me free?

 

Help me

I’m under pressure
