Pressure Cooker              Larry 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

Vamp
