Richie Havens - License To Kill

Man thinks he rules the universe and 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 in a cold chill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?

They take him and they teach him and they groom him for life
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 facing the hill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?

He's hell-bent for destruction, he's afraid and confused
And his mind has been mismanaged with great skill
Then they bury him with stars
Sell his body like they do used cars

There's a woman on my block
She just sit there and facing the hill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill ?

He worships at an altar like a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he's fulfilled
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon.
Man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon.

Now there's a woman on my block
She just sit there in a cold chill
She says who gonna take away his license to kill ?

She says who gonna take away his license to kill ?


She says who... is gonna take away... his license to kill ?
