Pressure Cookin’ Lyrics by Labelle

Pressure Cookin’

1973

Pressure cookin', pressure cookin'
Pressure cookin', keep the lid on
Keep it on
In the city, nothin's doin'
You know a man without a cause could lose his soul
It's a pity, trouble's brewin'
And it's a crime people are cryin' "police patrol"
And I can feel it rising higher
Pressure cookin', pressure cookin'
Pressure cookin', keep the lid on
To the children who must suffer
You have to try to make your fight for all mankind
Make a circle that can't be broken
Now's the time to draw the line twixt right or wrong
I can smell it, something's burnin'
Pressure cookin', pressure cookin'
Pressure cookin', keep the lid on
