VERSE 1:
Well I'm [Dm] standing by the river
but the [Gm] water doesn't flow
It ^[A#] boils with every ^[A] poison
you can [Dm] think of

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Dm] [Gm] [C] ^[F] ^[A]
[Dm] [Gm] ^[A#] ^[A] [Dm]

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

OUTRO:
[Dm] This ain't no upwardly mobile [Gm] freeway
Oh ^[A#] no, this is the ^[A] road
^[A#] This is the ^[A] road
^[A#] This is the ^[A] road to [Dm] hell

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Dm] [Gm] ^[A#] ^[A] [Dm] : [Multiple Times]
