Chris Rea - Road To Hell

 

 We'll I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow

It boils with every poison you can think of.

Then I'm underneath the streetlights

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 bells.

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.

Look out world

Take a good look what comes down here

You must learn these lesson fast and learn it well.

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

Oh no, this is the road

This is the road

This is the road to hell
