Verse 1
Well, I'm [Am]standing by a river, but the [Dm]water doesn't flow
It [F]boils with every poison[E] you can [Am]think of
And I'm [Am]underneath the street light, the [Dm]delight of joy I know
[F]Scared beyond [E]belief, way down in the [Am]shadows
Bridge
And the [C]perverted fear of violence
Chokes the [G]smile on every face
[F]Common sense is ringing out the [E]bells
Chorus
[Am] This ain't no technological [Dm]breakdown
Oh [F]no, this is the [E]road to [Am]hell

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