Well I'm standing by the river but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
And I'm underneath the streetlight but the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows And the perverted fear of violence, chokes the smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bell
This ain't no technological breakdown
Oh no, this is the road to hell 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
Oh look out world, take a good look what goes down here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road
Said this is the road, this is the road to hell
