Lyrics
Well, I'm standing by a river
But the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison
You can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight
But the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief
Way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence
Chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing
Out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road
To hell
And all the roads jam up with credit
And there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
Flying away from you
Oh, look out world take a good look
What goes down here
You must learn this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road
This is the road
To hell
