The Road To Hell Lyrics - Chris Rea

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
