And deaths the iron lady in the chair
Stop the murder, deter the crimes away
Only killing shows that killing doesnt pay
Yes thats 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 its over after all
They wont 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 hes 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 states allowed to murder in the chair
In the courtroom, watch the balance of the scales
If the price is right, theres 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 ladys charms
Legs of steel, leather on her arms
Taking on a man to die
A life for a life, an eye for an eye
Thats the iron lady in the chair /pre> Send these lyrics to a friend: |
