Have you seen the iron lady's charms
Am F
Dm
Legs of steel, leather on her arms
Bb Gm
Taking on a man to die
Am

A life for a life, an eye for an eye
Bb Gm Dm

And death's the iron lady in the chair
Stop the murder, deter the crimes
away
Only killing shows that 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, 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 never died upon
the chair
Have you seen the iron lady's charms
Legs of steel, leather on her
arms
Taking on a man to die
A life for a life, an eye for an eye
That's the iron lady in
the chair | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
