[Verse 1]
Am Dm
Well, I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow
F E Am
It boils with every poison you can think of
Am Dm
And I'm underneath the street light, the delight of joy I know
F E Am
Scared beyond belief, way down in the shadows
[Bridge]
C
And the perverted fear of violence
G
Chokes the smile on every face
F E
Common sense is ringing out the bells
[Chorus]
Am Dm
This ain't no technological breakdown
F E Am
Oh no, this is the road to hell
[Slide Solo]
| (Am) | (Am) | (Dm) | (Dm) |
| (G) | (G) | (C) | (G) |
| (Am) | (Am) | (Dm) | (Dm) |
| (F) | (E) | (Am) | (Am) |
[Bridge]
C
And all the roads jam up with credit
G
And there's nothing you can do
F E
It's all just bits of paper, flying away from you
[Verse]
Am Dm
Oh, look out world, take a good look, what goes down here
F E Am
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well
[Chorus]
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
[Outro Solo]
