Pressure Cooker  L Dunn ‘93
 
Chorus
Living in a pressure cooker
Melting pot is boiling over
Living in a pressure cooker
Burning hot and getting hotter
Verse
Living in the danger zone
On the mean side of town
So many people with too little hope
Their will has been broken down
Have been the stranger in their own land
Opportunity locked away
Their voice is not being heard
No matter what they say
Chorus
Verse
‘I have a dream’ said Reverend King
We’ll live as one together
Black, brown, yellow and white
We’ll end this violence forever
But the danger zone has gone to red
The street set to explode
Justice is blind, time after time
And the top is gonna blow
Chorus
Bridge
One hundred degree burning heat
Anger boiling on the street
Tempers flare, there’s no relief
Oh…oh, mercy, mercy me
Chorus
