Back On the Chain Gang

I found a picture of you

Oh, what hijacked my world that night

To a place in the past we've been cast out of

Oh, now we're back in the fight

We're back on the train, hey

Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control

Oh, the phone, the TV, and the news of the world

Got in the house like a pigeon from hell

Oh, threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies

Put us back on the train, hey

Oh, 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

But 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

Oh, those were the happiest days of my life

Like a break in the battle was your part

Oh, in the wretched life of a lonely heart

Now we're back on the train, hey

Oh, back on the chain gang
