Putting Up Resistance

Today I updated the song on my Myspace page to an old Beres Hammond song that fits the way I feel about life in general right now. Some of you don't have myspace, and even those of you that do might not have any idea who Beres Hammond is, or know the song. So, here are the lyrics.

Putting up Resistance

Pressure, pressure
Pressure

No I never can understand it
The way the system plan
There’s no hope, no chance
No loophole, no escape for a suffering man
Cause every time I leave my head above water
And try to save myself from drown
There’s an overnight scheme all worked out
Designed to keep me down

Still I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’m ah gonna work it out
You know I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’ve got to work it out

No window, no window
I want to stay home tonight
I long to spend some time with the family
But staying home won’t make it right
Sometimes the pressure make me feel like murder
When every sign says no way out
Breaking my back to make an overtime dollar
That just goes from hand to mouth

Still I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’m gonna work it out
You know I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’ve got to work it out
Lord I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’m ah gonna work it out
You know I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’m gonna work it out, Lord!

Got to fight it
Got to fight it

No I never can understand it
The way the system goes (pressure)
I don’t know how they do it
There’s only one way things flow
I don’t know how they do it
Cause every time I leave my head above water
And try to save myself from drown
There’s an overnight scheme all worked out
Designed to keep ah me down

Still I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’ve got to work it out
You know I’m (putting up a resistance)
I’m gonna work it out now
Putting up a resistance
I’m gonna work it out

No window, no window
I want to stay home tonight
I’d like to spend some time with the family
But staying home won’t make it right
Sometimes the pressure make me feel like murder
When every sign says no way out
Breaking my back to make an overnight dollar
That just goes from hand to mouth

Repeat Chorus

Putting up some fight
Gotta fight it

Repeat Chorus Out
