The Road to Hell Songtext
von Chris Rea

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 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 this lesson fast
And learn it well
This ain′t no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road to Hell
