| [00:11.507] |
Have you seen the iron lady's charms |
| [00:16.798] |
Legs of steel, leather on her arms |
| [00:23.770] |
Taking on a man to die |
| [00:28.408] |
A life for a life, an eye for an eye |
| [00:30.951] |
And that's the iron lady in the chair |
| [00:36.455] |
|
| [00:40.047] |
Stop the murder, deter the crimes away |
| [00:44.373] |
Only killing shows killing doesn't pay |
| [00:50.739] |
Yes, that's the kind of law it takes |
| [00:56.821] |
Even though we make mistakes |
| [00:59.683] |
And sometimes send the wrong man to the chair |
| [01:04.929] |
|
| [01:08.120] |
In the death row waiting for their turn |
| [01:14.525] |
No time to change, not a chance to learn |
| [01:19.043] |
Waiting for someone to call |
| [01:24.578] |
Say it's over after all |
| [01:28.157] |
They won't have to face the justice of the chair |
| [01:32.956] |
|
| [01:36.456] |
Just before they serve him one last meal |
| [01:41.157] |
Shave his head, they ask him how he feels |
| [01:47.110] |
Then the warden comes to say goodbye |
| [01:52.412] |
Reporters come to watch him die |
| [01:56.661] |
Watch him as he's strapped into the chair |
| [02:01.034] |
|
| [02:04.307] |
And the chaplain, he reads the final prayer |
| [02:08.680] |
Be brave my son, the Lord is waiting there |
| [02:15.205] |
Oh murder is so wrong you see |
| [02:17.604] |
Both the Bible and the courts agree |
| [02:24.266] |
That the state's allowed to murder in the chair |
| [02:29.165] |
|
| [02:32.254] |
In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales |
| [02:37.496] |
If the price is right, there's time for more appeals |
| [02:43.505] |
The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed |
| [02:49.074] |
The finest lawyers fees are paid |
| [02:51.901] |
And a rich man never died upon the chair |
| [02:57.412] |
|
| [02:59.894] |
Have you seen the iron lady's charms |
| [03:05.603] |
Legs of steel, leather on her arms |
| [03:12.748] |
Taking on a man to die |
| [03:16.636] |
A life for a life, an eye for an eye |
| [03:19.880] |
That's the iron lady in the chair |
