Back On The Chain Gang Lyrics By 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 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
