Tonality
Am
Well Iʼm standing by the river,
Dm
But the water doesnʼt flow.
FE7
It boils with every poison -
Am
You can think of.
Am
And Iʼm underneath the street light,
Dm
The delight of joy I know,
FE7
Scared beyond belief,
Am
Way down in the shadows.
C
And the perverted fear of violence,
G
Chokes a smile on every face,
FE7
Common sense is ringing, out the bells.
AmDm
This ainʼt no technological breakdown,
FE7Am
Oh-no, this is the road to hell.
C
And as the roads jam up with credit,
G
And thereʼs nothing you can do,
F
Itʼs all just bits of paper,
E7
Flying a way from you.
Am
Oh look out world take a good look,
Dm
Look whoʼs down there,
FE7Am
You must learn this lesson fast, and learn it well.
AmDm
This ainʼt no upwardly mobile freeway,
FE7
Oh-no, this is the road,
FE7
This is the road,
FE7Am
This is the road... to hell.
