I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh Well it hijacked my world at night To a place in the past we've been cast 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, the 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)
