Have you seen the iron lady's charms Legs of steel, leather on her arms Takin' on a man to die A life for a life, an eye for an eye And that's the iron lady in the chair Stop the murder, deter the crimes away Only killing shows killing doesn't pay Yes, that's the kind of law it takes Even though we make mistakes And sometimes send the wrong man to the chair In the death row waiting for their turn No time to change, not a chance to learn Waiting for someone to call, say it's over after all They won't have to face the justice of the chair Just before they serve him one last meal Shave his head, oh, they ask him how he feels Then the warden comes to say goodbye Reporters come to watch him die Watch him as he's strapped into the chair And the chaplain, he reads the final prayer Be brave my son, the Lord is waiting there Oh, murder is so wrong you see Both the Bible and the courts agree That the state's allowed to murder in the chair In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales If the price is right, there's time for more appeals The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed The finest lawyers fees are paid And a rich man's never died upon the chair Have you seen the iron lady's charms Legs of steel, leather on her arms Takin' on a man to die A life for a life, an eye for an eye And that's the iron lady in the chair Read more: Phil Ochs - The Iron Lady Lyrics | MetroLyrics e last mealShave his head, they ask him how he feelsThen the warden comes to say goodbyeReporters come to watch him dieWatch him as he's strapped into the chairAnd the chaplain, he reads the final prayerBe brave my son, the Lord is waiting thereOh murder is so wrong you seeBoth the Bible and the courts agreeThat the state's allowed to murder in the chairIn the courtroom, watch the balance of the scalesIf the price is right, there's time for more appealsThe strings are pulled, the switch is stayedThe finest lawyers fees are paidAnd a rich man never died upon the chairHave you seen the iron lady's charmsLegs of steel, leather on her armsTaking on a man to dieA life for a life, an eye for an eyeThat's the iron lady in the chair
