Back on the Chain Gang
The Pretenders
-------------------------------------------

I found a picture of you, ohhhh.
What hijacked my world that night?
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of, ohhhh.
Now we're back in the fight.
We're back on the train, yeah. 
Ohhhh, back on the chain gang.

A circumstance beyond our control, ohhhh.
The phone, TV and the news of the world.
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, ohhhh.
Threw sand in your eyes and descended like flies.
Put us back on the train, yeah.
Ohhhh, 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, ohhhh.
Those were the happiest days of my life.
Like a break in the battle was your part, ohhhh.
In the wretched life of a lonely heart.
Now we're back on the train,
Ohhhh, back on the chain gang.
