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.
------------------ First guitar 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.
