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 streetlights
  But the light of joy you 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 bells
  This aint no technological breakdown
  Oh no, this is the road to hell
  And all the roads jam up with credit
  But there's nothing you can do
  It's all just bits of paper
  Flying away from you
  Look out world take a good look
  What comes down here
  You must learn this lesson fast
  And learn it well
  This aint no upwardly mobile freeway
  Oh no, this is the road to hell
