License to Kill

Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth

He can do with it whatever 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 sits there as the night grows still

Sayin' who's gonna take away

Who's 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

They bury him with stars

Sell his body like they do used cars

Now there's a woman on my block

Just sits there facin' the hill

Sayin' who's gonna take away

Who's 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

There's a woman on my block sits there in a cold chill

Sayin' who's gonna take away

Who's gonna take away his license to kill?

Maybe a 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, till your error you clearly learn

Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool

When he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled

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 sits there as the night grows still

Sayin' who's gonna take away

Who's gonna take away his license to kill?

Who's gonna take away

Who's gonna take away his license to kill?
