[Verse]
F#m
Well I'm standing by the river,
Bm
But the water doesn't flow.
D C#
It boils with every poison -
F#m
You can think of.
[Verse]
And I'm underneath the street light,
Bm
The delight of joy I know,
D C#
Scared beyond belief,
F#m
Way down in the shadows.
[Chorus]
A
And the perverted fear of violence,
E
Chokes a smile on every face,
D C#
Common sense is ringing, out the bells.
F#m Bm
This ain't no technological breakdown,
D C# F#m
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.
[Solo]
F#m Bm E A A
F#m Bm D C# F#m
[Verse]
A
And as the roads jam up with credit,
E
And there's nothing you can do,
D
It's all just bits of paper,
C#
Flying a way from you.
F#m
Oh look out world take a good look,
Bm
Look who's down there,
D C# F#m
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
[Outro]
F#m Bm
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
D C#
Oh-no, this is the road,
D C#
This is the road,
D C# F#m
This is the road ... to hell.
