I'M THE STRONG ONE
I'M NOT NERVOUS
I'M AS TOUGH AS THE CRUST
OF THE EARTH IS
I MOVE MOUNTAINS
I MOVE CHURCHES
AND I GLOW, 'CAUSE I KNOW
WHAT MY WORTH IS
I DON'T ASK HOW
HARD THE WORK IS
GOT A ROUGH
INDESTRUCTIBLE SURFACE
DIAMONDS AND PLATINUM
I FIND 'EM, I FLATTEN 'EM
I TAKE WHAT I'M HANDED
I BREAK WHAT'S DEMANDED
BUT UNDER THE SURFACE
I FEEL BERSERK
AS A TIGHTROPE WALKER
IN A THREE-RING CIRCUS
UNDER THE SURFACE
WAS HERCULES EVER LIKE
YO, I DON'T WANNA
FIGHT CERBERUS
UNDER THE SURFACE
I'M PRETTY SURE I'M WORTHLESS
IF I CAN'T BE OF SERVICE
A FLAW OR A CRACK
THE STRAW IN THE STACK
THAT BREAKS THE CAMEL'S BACK
WHAT BREAKS THE CAMEL'S BACK
IT'S PRESSURE
LIKE A DRIP, DRIP, DRIP
THAT'LL NEVER STOP, WOAH-OH
PRESSURE THAT'LL TIP, TIP, TIP
'TIL YOU JUST GO POP
WOAH-OH-OH-OH
GIVE IT TO YOUR SISTER
YOUR SISTER'S OLDER
GIVE HER ALL THE HEAVY THINGS
WE CAN'T SHOULDER
WHO AM I
IF I CAN'T RUN WITH THE BALL
IF I FALL TO PRESSURE
LIKE A GRIP, GRIP, GRIP
AND IT WON'T LET GO, WOAH-OH
PRESSURE LIKE A TICK, TICK, TICK
'TIL IT'S READY TO BLOW
WOAH-OH-OH-OH
GIVE IT TO YOUR SISTER
YOUR SISTER'S STRONGER
SEE IF SHE CAN HANG ON
A LITTLE LONGER
WHO AM I
IF I CAN'T CARRY IT ALL
IF I FALTER UNDER THE SURFACE
I HIDE MY NERVES
AND IT WORSENS, I WORRY
SOMETHIN' IS GONNA HURT US
UNDER THE SURFACE
THE SHIP DOESN'T SWERVE
HAS IT HEARD HOW BIG
THE ICEBERG IS
UNDER THE SURFACE
I THINK ABOUT MY PURPOSE
CAN I SOMEHOW PRESERVE THIS
LINE UP THE DOMINOES
A LIGHT WIND BLOWS
YOU TRY TO STOP IT TOPPLIN'
BUT ON AND ON IT GOES
BUT, WAIT
IF I COULD SHAKE
THE CRUSHING WEIGHT
OF EXPECTATIONS
WOULD THAT FREE SOME ROOM
UP FOR JOY OR RELAXATION
OR SIMPLE PLEASURE
INSTEAD, WE MEASURE
THIS GROWING PRESSURE
KEEPS GROWING
KEEP GOING
'CAUSE ALL WE KNOW IS
PRESSURE LIKE
A DRIP, DRIP, DRIP
THAT'LL NEVER STOP, WOAH-OH
PRESSURE THAT'LL TIP, TIP, TIP
'TIL YOU JUST GO POP
WOAH-OH-OH-OH
GIVE IT TO YOUR SISTER
IT DOESN'T HURT AND
SEE IF SHE CAN HANDLE
EVERY FAMILY BURDEN
WATCH AS SHE BUCKLES AND
BENDS BUT NEVER BREAKS
NO MISTAKES
JUST PRESSURE LIKE
A GRIP, GRIP, GRIP
AND IT WON'T LET GO, WOAH-OH
PRESSURE LIKE A TICK, TICK, TICK
'TIL IT'S READY TO BLOW
WOAH-OH-OH-OH
GIVE IT TO YOUR SISTER
AND NEVER WONDER
IF THE SAME PRESSURE
WOULD'VE PULLED YOU UNDER
WHO AM I, IF I DON'T
HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
NO CRACKS, NO BREAKS
NO MISTAKES, NO PRESSURE
