Back On The Chain Gang

I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

You had hijacked my world at night

To a place in the past we've been passed out of, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

Now we're back in the fight



We're back on the train, yeah(ho-ah)

O-oh, back on the chain gang(ho-ah)



Circumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

The phone, TV and the news of the world

Got in the house like a pigeon from Hell, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies



And put us back on the train, yeah(ho-ah)

O-oh, (ho-ah) back on the chain gang



The powers that be

That force us to live like we do

Bring me to my knees

When I see what they've done to you



Well, I'll die as I stand here today

Knowing that deep in my heart

They'll fall to ruin one day

For making us part



I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

Those were the happiest days of my life

Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh

In the wretched life of a lonely heart



Now I'm back on the train, yeah(ho-ah)

O-oh, back on the chain gang(ho-ah)
