Have you seen the iron lady's charms?Legs of steel, leather on her armsTaking on a man to dieA life for a life, an eye for an eyeAnd death's the iron lady in the chairStop the murder, deter the crimes awayOnly killing shows killing doesn't payYeah, that's the kind of law it takesEven though we make mistakesSometimes send the wrong woman to the chairIn the death row waiting for their turnNo time to change, not a chance to learnWaiting for someone to callSay it's over after allThey won't have to face the justice of the chairJust before they serve her one last mealShave her head, they ask her how she feelsThen the warden comes to say goodbyeReporters come to watch him dieWatch him as he's strapped into the chairAnd the chaplain, he reads the final prayerBe brave my daughter, the Lord is waiting thereSongtexteOh, murder is so wrong you seeBoth the Bible and the courts agreeThat the state's allowed to murder in the chairIn the courtroom, watch the balance of the scalesIf the price is right, there's time for more appealsThe strings are pulled, the switch is stayedThe finest lawyers' fees are paidAnd a rich man never dies upon the chairHave you seen the iron lady's charms?Legs of steel, leather on her armsTaking on a man to dieA life for a life, an eye for an eyeThat's the iron lady in the chair Aus Songtexte Mania
