Oh no, this is the road to Hell
Edited on Wed Dec-31-03 09:11 AM by BlueEyedSon
I heard this song on the radio in Europe this summer, and although it was written in 1989 it pretty much sums up Bush's America.

Chris Rea - The Road To Hell (part II)

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

1. Chris Rea is my favorite musician
I've always loved his music and powerful vocals. No doubt one of the most overlooked musical talents of the last couple of decades. His latest work was a huge disappointment, but his library of albums doesn't have a stinker in the lot. Some of his better efforts...

Auberge
New Light Through Old Windows
Espresso Logic
The Road To Hell
