Back on the Chain Gang - Morrissey

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)
