Sung by Rainbow Dash

"Just because you've failed the Sonic Rainboom a hundred thousand times in practice doesn't mean you won't be able to do it in front of an entire stadium, full of impatient, super-critical sports fan ponies," Fluttershy assured Rainbow Dash, in the hopes that it would restore her confidence in time for the Young Fliers Competition.

It...did not have the intended effect.

"MY LIFE IS RUINED!"

Hoo, hoo

Today's the day
In only a matter of moments
I'll mess up in some way
The heck's a Sonic Rainboom?
Not a soul can say
And I can guess
More or less
My life's ruined
Under stress
Ah, the moments of glory
Is out of reach
"Ha ha,"
They're gonna all screech

The pressure is a
Horrible thing
I may freeze up in terror
I'm just not in this thing
No strength, no nerves
No heart, no wits
I may make like a banana and just split
The pressure is a lot

And a half
The fans are gonna see me
They'll point at me and laugh
The shame, the trip
The mess, the spill
I'll never
Join the Wonderbolts
Maybe I never will

That's the bad side of the pressure
It's strictly sink or float
It runs you 'til you're ragged
Then it grabs you by the throat
I know I won't survive it
Cos the chances are remote
Hoo, hoo, on my turn
I'm gonna crash and burn
The pressure is a horrible thing

"I almost forgot the very worst part: I not only get to crash and burn in front of everypony INCLUDING THE PRINCESS, but I also prime myself a great media target as the laughingstock pony who couldn't do it again either!"

And I
Will never fly
Ever again
I'll be laughed at then
Exiled
Ain't that just WILD!?
Right here

Take a look
The fates are perfectly clear
With my incomplete method of flying
I've everything to fear

Through the wringer
And the fire
Walking on
The tightrope wire
I wish I could be bolder
Remember, Dignity's salvaged fate
Rests completely on my shoulders,

Doom...
(Excuse me, bye...!)
Failure looms!

That's the horror of the pressure
The trembling and the dread
If I knew those jerks from Flight School came
I would have stayed in bed
Perhaps I could skip out?
Cos I wish I was dead

Hoo, hoo, got no clue
How the heck I will pull through
I'm all set, to freak out
Nerves gone up the spout
Make a fracas, panic lots
Got excuses like the trots
What's at stake is everything
Oh cruel fate, where is thy sting?
The pressure is a horrible thing
