LICENSE TO KILL
Man thinks 'cause he rules the earth
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 as the night grows still.
She say who 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,
Sell his body like they
do used cars.
Now, there's a woman on my block,
She just sit there facin' the hill.
She say who 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,
Sitting there in a cold chill.
She say who gonna take
away his license to kill?
Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker,
Heartbreaker, backbreaker,
Leave no stone unturned.
May be an actor in a plot,
That 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.
Oh, man 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 sit there as the night grows still.
She say who gonna take
away his license to kill?

LLICÈNCIA PER MATAR
L'home pensa que domina
el món i pot fer tot el que vol
Si les coses no canvien aviat, ho aconseguirà
Oh, l'home ha inventat la seva mala fortuna
El primer pas va ser trepitjar la lluna.
Però hi ha una dona al
meu veïnat,
Seu tranquil•la mentre mira el cel estelat
Diu, qui li traurà la llicència per matar?
L'home, el trien i el
preparen per a un vida de competitivitat
I el deixen en un camí on acabarà malalt,
Després l'enterren amb tota solemnitat,
I vénen el seu cos com si fos un cotxe usat.
Però hi ha una dona al
meu veïnat,
Que seu tranquil•la davant el mar
Diu, qui li traurà la llicència per matar?
L'home, va de cap a la destrucció, té por i està confós,
El seu cervell ha estat manipulat amb gran habilitat.
Només creu allò que veu
I el que veu, només son falses veritats.
Però hi ha una dona al
meu veïnat,
Seu tranquil•la a la fresca
Diu, qui li traurà la llicència per matar?
Pots ser un esvalotador, un espiritista,
Un trencacors o un malabarista ,
No deixar cap pedra sense girar.
Pots ser un actor de televisió,
Potser no tinguis cap altra possessió
Fins que aprenguis bé el teu error.
L'home s'agenolla
davant un altar d'aigua estancada
I quan hi veu la seva imatge se sent realitzat
Oh, l'home és el contrari al joc net
Ho vol tot i només ho vol per a ell
Però hi ha una dona al
meu veïnat,
Seu tranquil•la mentre mira el cel estelat
Diu, qui li traurà la llicència per matar?
