Phil Ochs - Iron Lady Lyrics

  • Am F Dm
  • 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 Dm
  • A life for a life, an eye for an eye
  • Bb Gm Dm C
  • 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
