...weeping costellos
...we've been cast out of
Back on the train again
Back on the chain gang
Bring me some money
And I'll see what they've done to you.
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
Therefore to ruin one day
Were making us fart
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
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
Therefore to rue and wonder
For making us part.
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.
But as I stand here today
But I'll die as I stand here today.
If I was a bee
Force us to live like we do
Bring me some money
When I see what they've done to you.
The powers that be
Force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you.
If I was a bee
The powers that be
Like a book in the Bible, was your heart
Like a break in the battle was your part
Like a break in the babble was your part.
Like a break in the battle was your part.
Now I'm back on the chain, yeah.
Oh, oh
Back on the chain gang.
Now I'm back on the train, yeah.
Oh, oh
Back on the chain gang.
To a place in the past we've been passed out of
To a place in the past we've been cast out of
Back on the Chevy
Back on the chain gang
Back on the shame game
Back on the chain gang
Back on the train, gang
Back on the chain gang
Battle of the chain gang
Back on the chain gang
Bring me some mayonnaise
Bring me to my knees
How does it feel?
The powers that be
