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

W[Am]ell I'm standing by the river,

B[Dm]ut the water doesn't flow.

I[F]t boils with every po[E]ison -

Y[Am]ou can think of.

A[Am]nd I'm underneath the street light,

T[Dm]he delight of joy I know,

S[F]cared beyond belief,[E]

W[Am]ay down in the shadows.

A[C]nd the perverted fear of violence,

C[G]hokes a smile on every face,

C[F]ommon sense is ringing, out[E] the bells.

T[Am]his ain't no technological br[Dm]eakdown,

O[F]h-no, this is the ro[E]ad to hel[Am]l.

A[C]nd as the roads jam up with credit,

A[G]nd there's nothing you can do,

I[F]t's all just bits of paper,

F[E]lying a way from you.

O[Am]h look out world take a good look,

L[Dm]ook who's down there,

Y[F]ou must learn this lesson fast, an[E]d learn it wel[Am]l.

T[Am]his ain't no upwardly mobile freeway, [Dm]

O[F]h-no, this is the ro[E]ad,

T[F]his is the ro[E]ad,

T[F]his is the ro[E]ad ... to [Am]hell.
