License To Kill Lyrics - Early 21st Century Blues - Cowboy Junkies

[Bob Dylan cover] 

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
