Fm A#m C# C Fm 2x
[Verse]
Fm
Well I'm standing by the river,
A#m
But the water doesn't flow.
C# C
It boils with every poison -
Fm
You can think of.
[Verse]
And I'm underneath the street light,
A#m
The delight of joy I know,
C# C
Scared beyond belief,
Fm
Way down in the shadows.
[Chorus]
G#
And the perverted fear of violence,
D#
Chokes a smile on every face,
C# C
Common sense is ringing, out the bells.
Fm A#m
This ain't no technological breakdown,
C# C Fm
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.
[Solo]
Fm A#m D# G# G#
Fm A#m C# C Fm
[Verse]
G#
And as the roads jam up with credit,
D#
And there's nothing you can do,
C#
It's all just bits of paper,
C
Flying a way from you.
Fm
Oh look out world take a good look,
A#m
Look who's down there,
C# C Fm
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
[Outro]
Fm A#m
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,
C# C
Oh-no, this is the road,
C# C
This is the road,
C# C Fm
This is the road ... to hell.
