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 descended like flies 

put us back on the train 

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 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 

now we're back on the train 

oh, back on the chain gang
