I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-ohYou had hijacked my world at nightTo a place in the past we’ve been passed out of, o-o-oh, o-o-ohNow we’re back in the fightWe’re back on the train, yeahO-oh, back on the chain gangCircumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh, o-o-ohThe phone, TV and the news of the worldGot in the house like a pigeon from Hell, o-o-oh, o-o-ohThrew sand in our eyes and descended like fliesAnd put us back on the train, yeahO-oh, back on the chain gangThe powers that beThat force us to live like we doBring me to my kneesWhen I see what they’ve done to youWell, I’ll die as I stand here todayKnowing that deep in my heartThey’ll fall to ruin one dayFor making us partI found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-ohThose were the happiest days of my lifeLike a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-ohIn the wretched life of a lonely heartNow I’m back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang
