The Pretenders Back On The Chain Gang I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh What hijacked my world that night To a place in the past Weve been cast out of? oh oh oh oh Now were back in the fight Were 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 Ill die as I stand here today Knowing that deep in my heart Theyll 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 were back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang
