Pressures On

Peer pressure is a beast
I have been trying to tame
But temptation sets in
Trying to keep myself sane

The peer pressurer knows
He has pressured his way
Yes is the only answer
Pressured, No you can't say

Will you break to the pressure
When the pressure is on
Say yes to the question
When you know it's wrong

You have pressured me this
So I will riddle you back
Maybe I'm the peer pressurer 
And your caught in my trap

At first I had to loose 
Give into the pressure 
Be a student at best
Listen to the lecture

The peer pressurer laughs
As his pressure it builds
Tempting you to give in
Pressured feelings of guilt

Everyone has fallen
At one time or another
Being pressured persistently 
By peer pressure of others

Everyone is guilty 
For using peer pressure
To sway the mind
With a pressuring gesture

When put up against
Peer pressure that's strong
Will you be peer pressured
When the pressure is on
