[Verse 1]
Am
Well, I'm standing by a river,
Dm
but the water doesn't flow
F E Am
It boils with every poison you can think of
Am
And I'm underneath the street light,
Dm
the delight of joy I know
F E Am
Scared beyond belief, way down in the shadows
[Bridge]
C
And the perverted fear of violence
G
Chokes the smile on every face
F E
Common sense is ringing out the bells
[Chorus]
Am Dm
This ain't no technological breakdown
F E Am
Oh no, this is the road to hell
[Slide Solo]
| Am | Am | Dm | Dm |

| Am | Am | Dm | Dm |
| F | E | Am | Am |
[Bridge]
C
And all the roads jam up with credit
G
And there's nothing you can do
F
It's all just bits of paper,
E
flying away from you
[Verse]
Am
Oh, look out world, take a good look,
Dm
what goes down here
F
You must learn this lesson fast,
E Am
and learn it well
[Chorus]
Am Dm
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
F E
Oh no, this is the road
F E
This is the road
F E Am
This is the road ... to hell
[Outro Solo]
