Pressure Lyrics

Well, I'm right here at square one again

It's where I have to be

Cause I just can't make no rent nowhere in this economy

As a child, I was brought up smart and

Promised big success

As a young man, I was hopeful

Now, I'm quickly getting less

And I might have screwed my album up and

Lost it a time or two

But I guess I'll stop complaining

When it does get out to you

So to anyone who lets me in

Thank you for lending an ear

To the only thing I have to show for

Playing all these years

There's so much

Pressure to succeed it's

Killing me, but if I

Dare complain, I must be weak

When I sing, people hear

Everything, but they will

Never listen to me speak

So I spend my every weekday walking

Tightrope in the sun

And I guess that it's a living

But it ends up zero fun

I debated going drinking, but I

Did not see the point

Couldn't tell you what I would not give to

Safely have a joint

There's this girl that I've been eyeing

But she plays for the other team

And I bet you that her girlfriend's less

Forgiving than she seems

Sure, I was discouraged when I

Learned, but I can't be mad

It's impossible to date when you're still

Living with your dad

Pressure to succeed is

Killing me; I'm looking

For success, but it's not there

Moving up, but still, it's

Not enough, and then the

Goalpost moves - it isn't fair
