--------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Verse 1]
E                    C#m                    B                E
Man thinks ’cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please

       E            C#m             B    F#7sus4/C#  B
And if things don’t change soon, he will

    A                    E
Oh, man has invented his doom

      E                     A
First step was touching the moon
[Chorus]
               C#m  B  A
Now, there’s a woman 

      C#m  B  A
On my block

        C#m  B  A
She just sit there 

                   C#m  B  A
As the night grows still

        E               B                  E      Esus4 E 
She say who gonna take away his license to kill? [= LINK]
[Verse 2]
          E                 C#m      B                       E
Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life

         E            C#m                          B    F#7sus4/C#  B
And they set him on a path where he’s bound to get ill

          A             E
Then they bury him with stars

         E                      A
Sell his body like they do used cars
[Chorus]
               C#m  B  A
Now, there’s a woman 

      C#m  B  A
On my block

        C#m  B  A
She just sit there 

           C#m  B  A
Facing the hill

        E               B                  E      Esus4 E
She say who gonna take away his license to kill? [= LINK]
[Verse 3]
          E               C#m       B                   E
Now, he’s hell-bent for destruction, he’s afraid and confused

        E                 C#m                B    F#7sus4/C#  B
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

A                       E
All he believes are his eyes

        E                        A
And his eyes, they just tell him lies
[Chorus]
               C#m  B  A
But, there’s a woman 

      C#m  B  A
On my block

        C#m  B  A
She just sit there 

          C#m  B  A
In a cold chill

        E               B                  E      Esus4 E
She say who gonna take away his license to kill? [= LINK]
[Middle 8]
            C#m
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker

E
Heartbreaker, backbreaker

F#m                 E
  Leave no stone unturned

          C#m
May be an actor in a plot

              E
That might be all that you got

          F#m                B
’Til your error you clearly learn
[Verse 4]
       E              C#m  B              E
Now he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool

            E          C#m               B    F#7sus4/C#  B
And when he sees his reflection, he’s fulfilled

    A                      E
Oh, man is opposed to fair play

            E                       A
He wants it all and he wants it his way
[Chorus]
               C#m  B  A
Now, there’s a woman 

      C#m  B  A
On my block

        C#m  B  A
She just sit there 

                   C#m  B  A
As the night grows still

        E               B                  E      Esus4 E
She say who gonna take away his license to kill? [= LINK]
