《Neighborhood Bully》歌词

[00:00:00] Neighborhood Bully - Bob Dylan (鲍勃·迪伦)

[00:00:07] Well the neighborhood bully he's just one man

[00:00:11] His enemies say he's on their land

[00:00:15] They got him outnumbered about a million to one

[00:00:18] He got no place to escape to no place to run

[00:00:22] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:00:29] The neighborhood bully he just lives to survive

[00:00:33] He's criticized and condemned for being alive

[00:00:36] He's not supposed to fight back he's supposed to have thick skin

[00:00:40] He's supposed to lay down and die when his door is kicked in

[00:00:43] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:00:51] The neighborhood bully been driven out of every land

[00:00:55] He's wandered the earth an exiled man

[00:00:58] Seen his family scattered his people hounded and torn

[00:01:02] He's always on trial for just being born

[00:01:05] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:01:13] Well he knocked out a lynch mob he was criticized

[00:01:16] Old women condemned him said he could apologize

[00:01:20] Then he destroyed a bomb factory nobody was glad

[00:01:24] The bombs were meant for him He was supposed to feel bad

[00:01:27] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:01:34] Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim

[00:01:38] That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him

[00:01:42] 'Cause there's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back

[00:01:45] And a licence to kill him is given out to every maniac

[00:01:49] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:02:00] Well he got no allies to really speak of

[00:02:03] What he gets he must pay for he don't get it out of love

[00:02:07] He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied

[00:02:10] But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side

[00:02:14] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:02:22] Well he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace

[00:02:25] They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease

[00:02:28] Now they wouldn't hurt a fly To hurt one they would weep

[00:02:32] They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep

[00:02:36] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:02:43] Every empire that's enslaved him is gone

[00:02:46] Egypt and Rome even the great Babylon

[00:02:50] He's made a garden of paradise in the desert sand

[00:02:54] In bed with nobody under no one's command

[00:02:57] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:03:05] Now his holiest books have been trampled upon

[00:03:08] No contract that he signed was worth that what it was written on

[00:03:12] He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth

[00:03:15] Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health

[00:03:19] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:03:26] What's anybody indebted to him for

[00:03:30] Nothing they say He just likes to cause war

[00:03:33] Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed

[00:03:37] They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed

[00:03:40] He's the neighborhood bully

[00:03:48] What has he done to wear so many scars

[00:03:51] Does he change the course of rivers Does he pollute the moon and stars

[00:03:54] Neighborhood bully standing on the hill

[00:03:58] Running out the clock time standing still

[00:04:02] Neighborhood bully
