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