VERSE 1:
Well I'm
[C#m] standing by the river
but the
[F#m] water doesn't flow
It ^
[A] boils with every ^
[G#] poison
you can
[C#m] think of
VERSE 2:
And I'm
[C#m] underneath the street light
the de-
[F#m]-light of joy I know
^
[A] Scared beyond be-^
[G#]-lief
way down in the
[C#m] shadows
BRIDGE:
And the per-
[E]-verted fear of violence
chokes a
[B] smile on every face
[A] Common sense is ringing, out the
[G#] bells
[C#m] This ain't no technological
[F#m] breakdown
Oh ^

[G#] road to
[C#m] hell

BRIDGE 2:
And as the roads
[E] jam up with credit
and there's
[B] nothing you can do
[A] It's all just bits of paper,
[G#] flying a way from you
Oh
[C#m] look out world take a good look
look who's
[F#m] down there
You must ^
[A] learn this lesson fast, ^
[G#] and learn it
[C#m] well
OUTRO:
[C#m] This ain't no upwardly mobile
[F#m] freeway
Oh ^
