WELL, I'M STANDIN' BY A 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
RINGIN' 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 NOTHIN'
YOU CAN DO
IT'S ALL JUST BITS OF PAPER
FLYIN' 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
