The Road to Hell, Part 2 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
Oh, 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
Said this is the road
This is the road to hell
