Chris Rea - The Road to Hell Pt 2

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 streetlight 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 bell

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

Oh, look out world take a good look What goes down here You must learn this lesson fast And learn it well

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway Oh no, this is the road Said this is the road This is the road To hell
