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 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 comes 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
