|  | 
| |  | Am |  |  | Well I’m standing by the river | 
 | 
| |  | Dm |  | but the | water doesn’t flow | 
 | 
| |  | F | E |  | it | boils with every poison |  | 
 | 
|  | 
|  | 
| | And I’m underneath the streetlight | 
 | 
| |  | Dm |  | and the | life and joy I know | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  | Am |  | we’re down in the | shadow | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  | C |  | And the per | verted fear of violence | 
 | 
| |  | G |  | chokes a | smile on every face | 
 | 
| |  | F |  | and | common sense is ringing | 
 | 
|  | 
|  | 
| |  | Am | Dm |  |  | This ain’t no technological | breakdown | 
 | 
| |  | F | E | Am |  | 0h | no this is the | road to | hell | 
 | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
|  | 
| |  | 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 | E7 |  |  | flying away from you |  | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  | Am |  | Oh | look out world take a good look | 
 | 
|  | 
| |  | F | E |  | You must | learn this lesson | fast | 
 | 
|  | 
|  | 
| |  | Dm |  | This ain’t no awkwardly mobile | freeway | 
 | 
| |  | F | E |  | 0h | no this is the | road | 
 | 
| |  | F | E |  |  | said this is the | road | 
 | 
| |  | F | E | Am |  |  | this is the | road to | hell | 
 | 
|  |
