The Road To Hell

Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own reflected in my window
Well she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadow
She said what are you doing here my fear for you has turned me in my grave
I said  I come to the valley of the rich myself to sell she said this is the road to hell
On your journey cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell

Well I'm standing by the 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 the smile on every face

And common sense is ringing out the bell

This ain't no technological breakdown 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 this is the road this is the road this is the road to hell
