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