Back on the chain gang

I found a picture of you
Oh oh oh oh
It hijacked my world at nights
From a place in the past
We've been cast out of
Oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight

Yes, we're back on the chain gang
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
Sand in our eyes, descended like flies

Yes, we're back on the chain gang
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
They were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part
Oh oh oh oh
Lonely heart, lonely hearts

Yes we're back on the chain gang
Oh, back on the chain gang (chain gang)
