Well I stand by a river, but [Dm] the water doesn't flow.
[F] It boils with every [E] poison you [Am] can think of.
And I'm underneath the streetlight, but [Dm] the light of joy I know.
[F]
Scared beyond [E] belief, way down [Am] in the shadows.
[C] And the perverted fear of violence, [G] jokes with a smile on every face.
[F] And common sense is ringing out [E] bells.
[Am]
This ain't no technological [Dm] breakdown.
[F] Oh no, this is [E] the road [Am] to hell.

And [C] all the roads jam up with credit, and [G] there's nothing you can do.
[F] As soldiers spit to paper, [E] flying away from you.
[Am] Oh look how well, take a good look, what [Dm] goes down here.
You [F] must learn this lesson [E] fast, and learn [Am] it well.
This ain't no upwardly mobile [Dm]
freeway.
[F] Oh no, this is [E] the road, [F]
this is the [E] road, [F]
this is [E] the road [Am] to hell.
