The Iron Lady
作詞:Phil Ochs
Have you seen the iron lady's charms Legs of steel, leather on her arms Takin' on a man to die A life for a life, an eye for an eye And that's the iron lady in the chair
Stop the murder, deter the crimes away Only killing shows 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, oh, they ask him how he feels Then the warden comes to say goodbye もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com 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's never died upon the chair
Have you seen the iron lady's charms Legs of steel, leather on her arms Takin' on a man to die A life for a life, an eye for an eye And that's the iron lady in the chair
