[00:17.49] |
Have you seen the iron lady's charms |
[00:28.33] |
Legs of steel, leather on her arms |
[00:44.09] |
Taking on a man to die |
[00:48.32] |
A life for a life, an eye for an eye |
[00:53.41] |
And death's the iron lady in the chair |
[01:02.17] |
Stop the murder, deter the crimes away |
[01:11.36] |
Only killing shows that killing doesn't pay |
[01:21.51] |
Yes that's the kind of law it takes |
[01:26.03] |
Even though we make mistakes |
[01:31.03] |
And sometimes send the wrong man to the chair |
[01:38.96] |
In the death row waiting for their turn |
[01:49.12] |
No time to change, not a chance to learn |
[01:55.22] |
Waiting for someone to call |
[02:00.03] |
Say it's over after all |
[02:05.83] |
They won't have to face the justice of the chair |
[02:13.62] |
Just before they serve him one last meal |
[02:21.98] |
Shave his head, they ask him how he feels |
[02:28.08] |
Then the warden comes to say goodbye |
[02:34.17] |
Reporters come to watch him die |
[02:37.76] |
Watch him as he's strapped into the chair |
[02:47.82] |
And the chaplain, he reads the final prayer |
[02:53.91] |
Be brave my son, the Lord is waiting there |
[03:02.46] |
Oh murder is so wrong you see |
[03:06.77] |
Both the Bible and the courts agree |
[03:12.24] |
That the state's allowed to murder in the chair |
[03:20.96] |
In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales |
[03:28.21] |
If the price is right, there's time for more appeals |
[03:33.80] |
The strings are pulled, the switch is stayed |
[03:39.90] |
The finest lawyers fees are paid |
[03:43.45] |
And a rich man never died upon the chair |
[03:51.76] |
Have you seen the iron lady's charms |
[03:58.80] |
Legs of steel, leather on her arms |
[04:04.53] |
Taking on a man to die |
[04:08.53] |
A life for a life, an eye for an eye |
[04:12.85] |
That's the iron lady in the chair |
