Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I'm standing by a river

But the water doesn't flow

It boils with every poison

You can think of

[Verse 2]

And I'm underneath the street lights

But the light of joy, I know

Scared beyond belief

Way down in the shadows

[Verse 3]

And the perverted fear of violence

Chokes a smile on every face

And common sense is ringing

Out the bell

[Verse 4]

This ain't no technological breakdown

Oh, no, this is the road to hell

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Oh, look out world, take a good look

What goes down here

You must learn this lesson fast

And learn it well

[Verse 7]

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

Oh, no, this is the road

I said, this is the road

This is the road to hell
