License To Kill

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 grow 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

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

May be noisemaker, spirit maker

Heartbreaker, backbreaker

Leave no stone unturned

May be an actor in a plot

That might be all that you got

Till 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 grow still

She say who gonna take away his license to kill
