Am

Well I'm standing by the river,

Dm

But the water doesn't flow.

F                   E

It boils with every poison -

        Am

You can think of.



Am

And I'm underneath the street light,

Dm

The delight of joy I know,

F                  E

Scared beyond belief,

                Am

Way down in the shadows.



C

And the perverted fear of violence,

G

Chokes a smile on every face,

F                         E

Common sense is ringing, out the bells.

Am                          Dm

This ain't no technological breakdown,

F                  E       Am

Oh-no, this is the road to hell.



Slide Solo



C

And as the roads jam up with credit,

G

And there's nothing you can do,

F

It's all just bits of paper,

E

Flying a way from you.

Am

Oh look out world take a good look,

Dm

Look who's down there,

F                                E            Am

You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.



Am                                   Dm

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway,

F                  E

Oh-no, this is the road,

F           E

This is the road,

F           E        Am

This is the road ... to hell.
