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 grow 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 May be noisemaker, spirit maker Heartbreaker, backbreaker Leave no stone unturned May be an actor in a plot That might be all that you got Till 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 grow still She say who gonna take away his license to kill

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le thème de la destruction causée par l’homme, qui se croit maître de la terre et qui en abuse. Elle met en lumière la façon dont les ambitions humaines, comme le fait d’atteindre la lune, peuvent mener à une auto-destruction. Au centre de cette réflexion, une femme observe la situation et se demande comment quelqu'un pourrait remettre en question le pouvoir donné à ceux qui prennent des décisions destructrices. Le contexte évoqué ici fait référence à une réalité où l’homme semble perdu et manipulé par ses propres illusions, se contentant de croyances erronées sans chercher à se libérer de cette spirale. La femme représente une voix de sagesse dans un monde chaotique, soulignant l'absence de responsabilité et la nécessité de changer les comportements destructeurs.
