AmWell I’m standing by the river,
DmBut the water doesn’t flow.
FIt boils with every Epoison –
You can Amthink of.
AmAnd I’m underneath the street light,
DmThe delight of joy I know,
FScared beyond Ebelief,
Way down in the Amshadows.
CAnd the perverted fear of violence,
GChokes a smile on every face,
FCommon sense is ringing, Eout the bells.
AmThis ain’t no technological Dmbreakdown,
FOh-no, this is the Eroad to Amhell.
CAnd as the roads jam up with credit,
GAnd there’s nothing you can do,
FIt’s all just bits of paper,
EFlying a way from you.
AmOh look out world take a good look,
DmLook who’s down there,
FYou must learn this lesson fast, Eand learn it Amwell.
AmThis ain’t no upwardly mobile Dmfreeway,
FOh-no, this is the Eroad,
FThis is the Eroad,
FThis is the Eroad … Amto hell.
