Chokes the smile on every face
Songwriter: Chris Rea
And there's nothing you can do
Oh no, this is the road, said this is the road
Take a good look what comes down here
It's all just bits of paper
Well I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow
Oh no, this is the road to Hell
Oh look out world
It boils with every poison you can think of

This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Flying away from you
This ain't no technological breakdown
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And I'm underneath the streetlight but the light of joy I know
This is the road to Hell
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
And common sense is ringing out the bell
And all the roads jam up with credit
And the perverted fear of violence
