Well he knocked out a lynch mob he was criticized

Old women condemned him said "he should apologize"

The he destroyed a bomb factory ain't nobody was glad

The bombs were meant for him he was supposed to feel bad

He's the neighborhood bully

Well the chances are against it and the odds are slim

That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him

There's a noose at his neck and a gun at his back

And a license to kill him given out to every maniac

He's the neighborhood bully

But he gets he must pay for he don't get it out of love

He buys obsolete weapons and he won't be denied

But no one sends flesh and blood to fight by his side

He's the neighborhood bully

Well he's surrounded by pacifists who all want peace

They pray for it nightly that the bloodshed must cease

Now they wouldn't hurt a fly to hurt one they would weep

They lay and they wait for this bully to fall asleep

He's the neighborhood bully

Every empire that's enslaved him is gone

Egypt and Rome even the great Babylon

He's made a Garden of Paradise in the desert sand

In bed with nobody under no ones command

He's the neighborhood bully

Now his holiest books have been trampled upon

No contract he signed was worth what it was written on

He took the crumbs of the world and he turned it into wealth

Took sickness and disease and he turned it into health

He's the neighborhood bully

What's anybody indebted to him for?

Nothin' they say he just likes to cause war

Pride and prejudice and superstition indeed

They wait for this bully like a dog waits to feed

Neighborhood bully

What has he done to wear so many scars?

Does he change the course of rivers?

Does he pollute the moon and stars?

Neighborhood bully standing on the hill

Running out the clock time standing still neighborhood bully”

In Israel, the times they are a-changin’ as always, but one thing remains constant: Bob Dylan keeps going like a rollin’ stone when it comes to loving the place. He’s performing a concert in Tel Aviv this June!

Though the Sesame Flyers have performed in many public events and have won many steel pan competitions, this will be their very first appearance in the Salute to Israel Parade - don't miss it!
