  • 作曲 : Phil Ochs
    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
    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
