I found a picture of you, whoa-oh-oh What hijacked my world that night To a place in the past We've been cast out of? Whoa-oh-oh Now we're back in the fight We're back on the train, yeah Oh, back on the chain gang Circumstance beyond our control, whoa-oh-oh The phone, the TV and the news of the world Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, whoa-oh-oh Threw sand in our eyes and descend 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, whoa-oh-oh I found a picture of you, whoa-oh-oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, whoa-oh-oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart Now I'm back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang
