	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 streetlights

	Dm
But the	light of joy I know

	F	E	Am
	Scared beyond belief	way down in the	shadows

	C
And the per	verted fear of violence

	G
Choke a	smile on every face

	F	E
And	common sense is ringing out the	bells

	Am	Dm
	This ain't no technological	breakdown

	F	E	Am
Oh	no, this is the	road to	hell

slide guitar solo, with keyboard lick

	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

	Am
Ohh	look out world take a good look

	Dm
What comes	down here

	F	E
You must	learn this lesson	fast

	Am
And learn it	well

	Dm
This ain't no upwardly mobile	freeway

	F	E
Oh	no, this is the	road

	F	E
	I say, this is the	road

	F	E	Am
	This is the	road to	hell
