4 = blow hole 4-4 = draw hole 4’ = bend
Well I'm stand-ing by a river
But the wa-ter does-n't flow
It boils with ev-'ry poi-son
You can think of
And I'm un-der-neath
The street-lights
But the light of joy I know
Scared be-yond be-lief
Way down in the sha-dows
And the per-vert-ed fear
Of vio-lence
Chokes a smile on ev-'ry face
And com-mon sense is ring-ing
Out the bells
This ain't no
Tech-no-lo-gi-cal break-down
Oh no, this is the road to Hell
And all the roads jam up with cre-dit
And there's noth-ing you can do
It's all just bits of paper
Flying a-way from you
Boy, look out world take a good look
What comes down here
You must learn this les-son fast
And learn it well
This ain't no
Up-ward-ly mo-bile free-way
Oh no, this is the road
This is the road
This is the road
To Hell
