     They say it's not a problem
     They say what's so hard
     They say that it's so easy
     They'll come out hardly scarred

     I shake my head and wonder
     How can they be so blind
     So ignorant of pressure
     No one can steel their mind

     For pressure always binds you
     And always one gives in
     And no matter how it happens
     Somehow, it must begin

     They claim all strength and power
     But I know differently
     That when it really comes
     They won't find it incidentally

     I should know, it's happened
     I've been brought down to my knees
     And everyone did pressure
     And I bent, no longer me

     They say it is so easy
     To go and say just no
     But I will tell you now
     That it will never be like so
