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

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Am] [Dm] [G] ^[C] ^[E]
[Am] [Dm] ^[F] ^[E] [Am]

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

OUTRO:
[Am] This ain't no upwardly mobile [Dm] freeway
Oh ^[F] no, this is the ^[E] road
^[F] This is the ^[E] road
^[F] This is the ^[E] road to [Am] hell

INSTRUMENTAL:
[Am] [Dm] ^[F] ^[E] [Am] : [Multiple Times]
