[Intro] | G | D | G Gsus4 | G | [Verse 1]
G                    Em
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth

D                  G
  He can do  as he pleases

       G            Em              | D A | D |
And if things don't change soon, he will

      C                    G
Cause man has invented his doom

      G        D            C
First step was touching the moon

              Em D C      Em D C
Now there's a woman on my block

           Em D C                     Em D C
She just sit there as the night grow still

        G               D                 | G Gsus4 | G |  
She say, who gonna take away his license to kill
[Verse 2]
          G                 Em
Now, they take him and they teach him

D                       G
 And they groom him for life

         G            Em                          | D  A | D |
And they set him on a path where he's bound to get ill

          C              G
Then they bury him with stars

          G             D       C
Sell his body like they do used cars

              Em D C      Em D C
Now there's a woman on my block

         Em D C              Em D C
She just sits there facin' the hill

          G               D                  | G Gsus4 | G |
She says, who gonna take away his license to kill
[Verse 3]
          G               Em
Now, he's hell-bent for destruction

D                   G
 He's afraid and confused

        G                 Em                 | D  A | D |
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill

C                       G
All he believes are his eyes

        G         D             C
And his eyes they just tell him lies

              Em D C      Em D C
But there's a woman on my block

         Em D C               Em D C
She just sits there in a cold chill

          G               D                  | G Gsus4 | G |
She says, who gonna take away his license to kill
[Middle 8]
       Em
May be noisemaker, spirit maker

G
Heartbreaker, backbreaker

C                  G
  Leave no stone unturned

              Em
You may be an actor in a plot

              G
That might be all that you got

          Am                 [ D ]  
Till your error you clearly learn
[Interlude] | D | Dsus4 | D | Dsus4 |

                 (break)
[Verse 4]
       G              Em   D              G
Now he worships at an altar by a stagnant pool

            G          Em              | D    A  | D |                                             
And when he sees his reflection he's fulfilled

    C                      G
Oh, man is opposed to fair play

            G          D            C
He wants it all and he wants it his way                   

               Em D C      Em D C
Now, there's a woman on my block

         Em D C                    Em D C
She just sits there as night grows still

          G               D                  | G Gsus4 | G |
She says, who gonna take away his license to kill
