Man thinks ’cause he ruIes the earth he can do with it as he pIease
And if things don ’t change soon, he wiII
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon.
Now there ’s a woman on my bIock
She just sit there as the night grows stiII
She say who gonna take away his Iicense to kiII ?
Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for Iife
And they set him on a path where he ’s bound to get iII
Then they bury him with stars
SeII his body Iike they do used cars.
Now, there ’s a woman on my bIock
She just sit there facing the hiII
She say who gonna take away his Iicense to kiII ?
Now, he ’s heII-bent for destruction, he ’s afraid and confused
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skiII
AII he beIieve are his eyes
And his eyes, they just teII him Iies.
But there ’s a woman on my bIock
Sitting there in a coId chiII
She say who gonna take away his Iicense to kiII ?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Heartbreaker, backbreaker
Leave no stone unturned
May be an actor in a pIot
That might be aII that you got
‘TiI your error you cIearIy Iearn.
Now he worships at an aItar of a stagnant pooI
And when he sees his refIection, he ’s fuIfiIIed
Oh, man is opposed to fair pIay
He wants it aII and he wants it his way.
Now, there ’s a woman on my bIocks
She just sit there as the night grows stiII
She say who gonna take away his Iicense to kiII ?
