License to Kill

Lyrics

Man thinks 'cause he rules the Earth, he can do with it as he please
 And if things don't change soon, he will
 Oh, man has invented his doom
 First step was touching the moon
 Now, there's a woman on my block
 She just sit there as the night grows still
 She say who, gonna take away his license to kill?
 Now, they take him, and they teach him, and they groom him for life
 And they set him, on a path where he's bound to get ill
 Then they bury him with stars
 Sell his body like they do used cars
 Now, there's a woman on my block
 She just sit there facin' the hill
 She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
 Now he's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused
 And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill
 And all he believes are his eyes
 And his eyes, they just tell him lies
 But there's a woman on my block
 Sitting there in a cold chill
 She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
 Even noisemaker, spirit maker
 Heartbreaker, backbreaker
 Leave no stone unturned
 May be an actor in a plot
 That might be all that you got
 'Til your error you clearly learn
 Now he worships at an altar, of a stagnant pool
 And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
 Oh, man is opposed to fair play
 He wants it all and he wants it his way
 Now, there's a woman on my block
 She just sit there as the night grows still
 She say who wanna take away his license to kill?
