Back On The Chain Gang
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I found a picture of you, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
You had hijacked my world at night
To a place in the past we've been passed out of, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang
Circumstance beyond our control, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
The phone, tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
And put us back on the train, yeah
O-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
Well, 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, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, o-o-oh, o-o-oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now i'm back on the train, yeah
O-oh, back on the chain gang
