Well I'm [Cm] standing by the river
but the [Fm] water doesn't flow
It ^[G#] boils with every ^[G] poison
you can [Cm] think of

VERSE 2:
And I'm [Cm] underneath the street light
the de-[Fm]-light of joy I know
^[G#] Scared beyond be-^[G]-lief
way down in the [Cm] shadows

BRIDGE:
And the per-[D#]-verted fear of violence
chokes a [A#] smile on every face
[G#] Common sense is ringing, out the [G] bells
[Cm] This ain't no technological [Fm] breakdown
Oh ^[G#] no, this is the ^[G] road to [Cm] hell

BRIDGE 2:
And as the roads [D#] jam up with credit
and there's [A#] nothing you can do
[G#] It's all just bits of paper, [G] flying a way from you
Oh [Cm] look out world take a good look
look who's [Fm] down there
You must ^[G#] learn this lesson fast, ^[G] and learn it [Cm] well

OUTRO:
[Cm] This ain't no upwardly mobile [Fm] freeway
Oh ^[G#] no, this is the ^[G] road
^[G#] This is the ^[G] road
^[G#] This is the ^[G] road to [Cm] hell
