A song performed by the band Queen and co-written by David Bowie. The beat was shamefully ripped-off by Vanilla Ice. But even through that and all of time the song and all it's greatness will never die.
"Boom boom ba deh, boom boom ba deh, bubba boom ba beh beh
Pressure
Pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure
That burns a building down
Splits a family in two, puts people on the streets
Boom ba ba beh, boom ba ba beh, bee deh dop, ee deh dop
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people
People on streets
Deh deh det, ooh, ba da da da bom, O K
Trippin' around (kick my brains 'round the floor)
These are the days (it never rains but it pours)
Ee do da dep, ee da do bop bop, ee do bop, dee bop
People on the streets, dee da dee da det
People on the streets, dee da dee da dee da dee da
It's the terror of knowing what this world is about
Watching some good friends scream "Let me out"
Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why, why, why?
Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love...?
'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves... Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure"
Pressure

The underground, a free state where people can express their opinions and other beliefs without any backlash from the elite. Also the under-stater way of life is simple yet exciting.
The Under State is Our State!

you're the shit, you're down as hell, and everything about you is great BUT people don't think too much of you because they don't know you.

A term usually used amongst London Underground staff, a one under is a person who has either intentionally or accidentally become trapped underneath a tube train. This action causes large delays.
Most one unders are suicide attempts, but occasionally accidental. A lot of one unders are fatal, but the 'luckier' people are just badly mangled by the sharp bits underneath the train.
There are anti-suicide measures put in place on many London Underground lines including deep trenches and glass barriers. The trenches are so that people can't easily lie on the tracks and people who accidentally fall can protect themselves by lying in the trenches, and the glass barrier doors only open when a train is on the platform.
