Neighborhood Bully - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)[00:00:00]
Well the neighborhood bully he's just one man[00:00:07]
His enemies say he's on their land[00:00:11]
They got him outnumbered about a million to one[00:00:15]
He got no place to escape to no place to run[00:00:18]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:00:22]
The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive[00:00:29]
He's criticized and condemned for being alive[00:00:33]
He's not supposed to fight back he's supposed to have thick skin[00:00:36]
He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in[00:00:40]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:00:43]
The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land[00:00:51]
He's wandered the earth an exiled man[00:00:55]
Seen his family scattered his people hounded and torn[00:00:58]
He's always on trial for just being born[00:01:02]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:01:05]
Well he knocked out a lynch mob he was criticized[00:01:13]
Old women condemned him said he could apologize[00:01:16]
Then he destroyed a bomb factory nobody was glad[00:01:20]
The bombs were meant for him He was supposed to feel bad[00:01:24]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:01:27]
Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim[00:01:34]
That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him[00:01:38]
'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back[00:01:42]
And a licence to kill him is given out to every maniac[00:01:45]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:01:49]
Well he got no allies to really speak of[00:02:00]
What he gets he must pay for he don't get it out of love[00:02:03]
He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied[00:02:07]
But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side[00:02:10]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:02:14]
Well he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace[00:02:22]
They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease[00:02:25]
Now they wouldn't hurt a fly To hurt one they would weep[00:02:28]
They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep[00:02:32]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:02:36]
Every empire that's enslaved him is gone[00:02:43]
Egypt and Rome even the great Babylon[00:02:46]
He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand[00:02:50]
In bed with nobody under no one's command[00:02:54]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:02:57]
Now his holiest books have been trampled upon[00:03:05]
No contract that he signed was worth that what it was written on[00:03:08]
He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth[00:03:12]
Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health[00:03:15]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:03:19]
What's anybody indebted to him for [00:03:26]
Nothing they say He just likes to cause war[00:03:30]
Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed[00:03:33]
They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed[00:03:37]
He's the neighborhood bully [00:03:40]
What has he done to wear so many scars [00:03:48]
Does he change the course of rivers Does he pollute the moon and stars [00:03:51]
Neighborhood bully standing on the hill[00:03:54]
Running out the clock time standing still[00:03:58]
Neighborhood bully[00:04:02]
