Bob Dylan — License to Kill

[Verse 1] Man thinks because 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 [Refrain] Now, there’s a woman on my block She just sit there as the night grows still She say who going to take away his license to kill? [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Now, there’s a woman on my block She just sits there facing the hill She say who going to take away his license to kill? [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] But there’s a woman on my block Sitting there in a cold chill She say who going to take away his license to kill? [Verse 4] You may be 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 you clearly learn [Verse 5] 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 [Refrain] Now, there’s a woman on my block She just sit there as the night grows still She say who going to take away his license to kill?
