《Iron Lady(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Iron Lady - Phil Ochs

[00:00:11] Have you seen the iron lady's charms

[00:00:17] Legs of steel leather on her arms

[00:00:24] Takin' on a man to die

[00:00:28] A life for a life an eye for an eye

[00:00:31] And that's the iron lady in the chair

[00:00:39] Stop the murder deter the crimes away

[00:00:45] Only killing shows killing doesn't pay

[00:00:52] Yes that's the kind of law it takes

[00:00:56] Even though we make mistakes

[00:00:59] And sometimes send the

[00:01:01] Wrong man to the chair

[00:01:07] In the death row waiting for their turn

[00:01:14] No time to change

[00:01:16] Not a chance to learn

[00:01:21] Waiting for someone to call

[00:01:24] Say it's over after all

[00:01:27] They won't have to face

[00:01:29] The justice of the chair

[00:01:35] Just before they serve

[00:01:38] Him one last meal

[00:01:41] Shave his head oh

[00:01:44] They ask him how he feels

[00:01:48] Then the warden

[00:01:49] Comes to say goodbye

[00:01:52] Reporters come to watch him die

[00:01:56] Watch him as he's

[00:01:57] Strapped into the chair

[00:02:03] And the chaplain

[00:02:05] He reads the final prayer

[00:02:10] Be brave my son

[00:02:11] The Lord is waiting there

[00:02:16] Oh murder is so wrong you see

[00:02:20] Both the Bible and the courts agree

[00:02:24] That the state's allowed to murder in the chair

[00:02:31] In the courtroom

[00:02:33] Watch the balance of the scales

[00:02:38] If the price is right

[00:02:40] There's time for more appeals

[00:02:44] The strings are pulled the switch is stayed

[00:02:48] The finest lawyers fees are paid

[00:02:52] And a rich man's never died upon the chair

[00:02:59] Have you seen the iron lady's charms

[00:03:05] Legs of steel leather on her arms

[00:03:13] Takin' on a man to die

[00:03:16] A life for a life an eye for an eye

[00:03:19] And that's the iron lady in the chair
