Michael:
Tired of injustice
Tired of the scheme
Kinda disgustin'
So what does it mean, damn it
You kick to me down
I got to get up
As jacked as it sounds
The whole system sucks, damn it

Janet:
Peek in the shadow
Come into the light
You tell me I'm wrong
Then you better prove you're right
You're sellin' out souls but ya
I care about mine
I've got to get stronger
And I won't give up the fight

Michael:
With such confusions don't it make you wanna scream
Janet:
Make you wanna scream
Michael:
Your bash abusin' victimize
Within the scheme
Janet:
You try to cope with every lie
They scrutinize

Both:
Somebody please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream

Michael:
Tired of tellin' you the story your way
It's causin' confusion
You think it's okay, damn it
Janet:
Keep changin' the rules
While can't playin' the game
I can't take it much longer
I think I might go insane

Michael:
With such confusion don't it make you wanna scream
Janet:
Make you wanna scream
Michael:
Your bash abusin' victimize
Within the scheme
Janet:
You find your pleasure
Scandalizin' every lie

Both:
Oh father, please have mercy
'Cause I just can't take it
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop pressurin' me
Make me wanna scream
Stop pressurin' me
Just stop pressurin' me
Stop fuckin' with me
Make me wanna scream

Janet:
Oh my God, can't believe what I saw
As I turned on the TV this evening
I was disgusted by all the injustice
All the injustice

Michael:
All the injustice
