Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth

He can do with it as he please
C Am G
And if things don't change soon, he will

Oh, man has invented his doom
C G F
First step was touching the moon
Am F Am F
Now there's a woman on my block
Am F Am F
She just sits there as the night grow still
C G C Fmaj7 Csus4 C
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
C Am
Now, they take him and they teach him
G C
And they groom him for life
C Am G
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill
F C
Then they bury him with stars
C G F
Sell his body like they do used cars
Am F Am F
Now there's a woman on my block
Am F Am F
She just sit there facin' the hill
C G C Fmaj7 Csus4 C
She say who gonna take away his license to kill

He's afraid and confused
C Am G
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

All he believes are his eyes
C G F
And his eyes they just tell him lies
Am F Am F
But there's a woman on my block
Am F Am F
Sitting there in a cold chill
C G C Fmaj7 Csus4 C
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
Am
May be noisemaker, spirit maker
C
Heartbreaker, backbreaker
F C
Leave no stone unturned
Am
May be an actor in a plot
C
That might be all that you got
Dm G
Till your error you clearly learn
C Am
Now he worships at an altar
G C
Of a stagnant pool
C Am G
And when he sees his reflection he's fulfilled
F C
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
C G F
He wants it all and he wants it his way
Am F Am F
Now, there's a woman on my block
Am F Am F
She just sit there as the night grow still
C G C Fmaj7 Csus4 C
She say who gonna take away his license to kill
