Grace Under Pressure #1 (outtake)

The world is collapsing
You better get your knife
Your gather up your children
You’re fightin for your life
No more easy money
No more easy love
It’s time for recognition
That a little is enough 

Chorus:
Well get down, well get down
Well get down, get down
No more excess or senseless haste
No more religion, no more to waste
Just check the wind and set your face
And find yourself a little bit of grace under pressure 

Look, mama, look!
The sky’s on fire
The ground is moving
And the tidewater’s higher
Armies are marching
Pillaging your town
You better take cover
And burrow underground 

Chorus 

No time to pray to heaven
No time to make amends
No time to see your lover
No time to see your friends
It’s a mean old world
Made of fire and ice
You can only be thankful
Nobody lives twice. 

Chorus
