Michael:
Tired of injustice
Tired of the schemes
Kinda disgusted
So what does it mean
Kicking me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damnit
Janet:
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls but
I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight
Michael:
With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
Janet:
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Both:
Somebody please have mercy
'cause I just can't take it
Chorus:
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Michael:
Tired of you tellin' the story your way
It's causin' confusion
You think it's okay
Janet:
Keep changin' the rules
While you're playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane
Michael:
With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize within the scheme
Janet:
You find your pleasure scandalizin' every lie
Both:
Oh father, please have mercy 'cause
I just can't take it
Chorus 2:
Stop pressurin' me, just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me, make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me, just stop fuckin' with me
Stop fuckin' with me, make me wanna scream
Janet:
"Oh my God, can't believe what I saw
As I turned on the TV this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice"
Michael:
"All the injustice"
News Man:
"A man has been brutally beaten to death by
Police after being wrongly identified as a
robbery suspect. The man was
an 18 year old black male..."
Michael:
With such collusions don't it make you wanna scream
Your bash abusin' victimize' within the scheme
Janet:
You try to cope with every lie they scrutinize
Both:
Oh brother please have mercy
'cause I just can't take it
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus 2
