Well I'm standing
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 a 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
