Back On The Chain Gang The Pretenders I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh What hijacked my world that night To a place in the past We've been cast out of, oh oh oh oh Now we're back in the fight We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh The phone, the TV and the news of the world Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh Threw sand in our eyes and descending like flies Put us back on the train Oh... Back on the chain gang [Solo] 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 oh oh oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang
