License to Kill Songtext
von Tom Petty

Man thinks, ′cause he rules the earth
He can do with it as he pleases
And if things don't, change soon, he will
Cause man, has invented his doom
The first step was touching the moon
Now there′s a woman, on my block
She just sits there, as the night grows still
And she says, who's 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, they sell his body like they do used cars
Now, there′s a woman on my block She just sits there facing the hill
She says, who′s 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
She just sits there, in a cold chill
She says, who′s gonna take away, his license to kill?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Heart breaker, back breaker, leave no stone unturned
You may be an actor in a plot, might be all that you got
'Til your error, you clearly learn


Now he worships, at an altar, of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he′s fulfilled
Yeah who 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 sits there, as the night grows still
She says, who's gonna take away, his license to kill?

Yeah, who′s gonna take away, his license to kill
