No we can't take it no more sah,
no no no no,
no we can't take it no more,hey
me say Down downpresser,
no no we can't take the pressure,
cho me say
Down downpresser,
I think that we would live better,
if you go down downpresser
no no we cant take the pressure,
cho me say down downpresser,
I think that we would live better.
Out of them come word of blasphemy,
thinking to direct man's steps and man's destiny,
Now they are always intent on manipulation,
with all means of injustice in every situation,
hey a me say,
Down downpresser,
no no we can't take the pressure,
cho me say down downpresser
I think that we would live better,
if you go down downpresser,
no no we cant the pressure,
so me say down downpresser,
I think that we would live better.
We've got a new generation to lead,
we've got lots of hungry mouths to feed,
o' but yet you refusing to set an example,
you keep acting as if this life is a gamble,
a me say,
Down downpresser,
no no we cant take the pressure,
cho me say down downpresser,
I think that we would live better
if you go down downpresser
no we cant take the pressure,
cho me say down downpresser,
I think that we would live better,
BRIDGE
A me say
Down downpresser,
no no we cant take your pressure,
down downpresser,
cho me say
I think that we would live better,
if you go down downpresser,
no no we cant take your pressure,
cho me say down downpresser,
I think that we would live better
So long it's been said,
yet it cannot be done,
so many times we've heard we should live as one,
oh but yet you refusing to set an example,
you keep acting as if this life is a gamble,
so me say, down downpresser,
no no we cant take your pressure,
so me say,
down downpresser, I think that we would live better,
if you go down downpresser,
no no we cant take your pressure,
cho me say
down downpresser,
I think that we would live better,
down downpresser man,
no no we cant take the pressure man,
down downpresser man,
no we cant take the pressure man, Reprise.
