Now, they take him and they teach him
“Who gonna take away his license to kill?”
Now, he's hell bent for destruction
She say
Where he's bound to get ill
She just sit there as the night grow still
And say
Knowin' man has invented his doom
She say
He's afraid and confused
Now, he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool
And he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
Knowin' man is opposed to fair play
May be noisemaker, spirit maker
She just sit there facin' the hill
“Who gonna take away his license to kill?”
And his brain has been mismanaged
Leave no stone unturned
She say
First step was touchin' the moon
And they set him on a path
He will
And they groom him for life
With great skill
And if things don't change soon
But there's a woman on my block
Till your error you clearly learn
All he believes are his eyes
Now there's a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grow still
“Who gonna take away his license to kill?”
Heart breaker, back breaker
Then they bury him with stars
Now, there's a woman on my block
That might be all that you got
And his eyes they just tell him lies
Sell his body like they do used cars
May be an actor in a plot
Sittin' there in a cold chill
Now there's a woman on my block
He wants it all and he wants it his way
