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