Gm
Well I'm standing by the river,
Cm
But the water doesn't flow.
D# D
It boils with every poison -
Gm
You can think of.
[Verse]
And I'm underneath the street light,
Cm
The delight of joy I know,
D# D
Scared beyond belief,
Gm
Way down in the shadows.
[Chorus]
A#
And the perverted fear of violence,
F
Chokes a smile on every face,
D# D
Common sense is ringing, out the bells.
Gm Cm
This ain't no technological breakdown,
D# D Gm
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.

Gm Cm F A# A#

[Verse]
A#
And as the roads jam up with credit,
F
And there's nothing you can do,
D#
It's all just bits of paper,
D
Flying a way from you.
Gm
Oh look out world take a good look,
Cm
Look who's down there,
D# D Gm
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
[Outro]
Gm Cm
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
D# D
Oh-no, this is the road,
D# D
This is the road,
D# D Gm
This is the road ... to hell.
