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
I’m not sure the exact date this cool video was shot, but I’m pretty sure it has to be @ The Power Station in NYC – April/May 1983.
If anyone got more hard facts… please enlighten me.

New York City, New York
April / May – 1983
- Bob Dylan (vocal, guitar)
- Mark Knopfler (guitar), Mick Taylor (guitar)
- Alan Clark (keyboards)

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 carsNow, 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 liesBut 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 learnNow 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 wayNow, 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?

The video isn t rare at all. I v have seen it advertised all over the place throughout the years.
This video (in higher quality) was on You Tube several years ago but has since been pulled.
don’t know where it was recorded, but i know there’s videos of them playing at least a couple more from the album (maybe even the whole thing). the one for “Don’t Fall Apart on Me Tonight” is hilarious and awesome.
Hi John & thanks for your feedback.
Yes, I’ve also seen “Don’t Fall Apart on Me Tonight”. I tried to google for more info.. but didn’t find anything.
