The Pretenders

The Pretenders - Back On The Chain Gang lyrics

Your rating:

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
