The Times They Are A-changin'

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon, you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin' then you better start swimmin'

Or you will sink like a stone, for the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen

And keep your eyes wide,the chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon 'cause the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'

For the loser now, will be later to win, for the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call

Don't you just stand in the doorways, don't you block out the hall

For he that gets hurt, will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside and it's ragin'

It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin', yes, they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

And don't you dare criticize, what you can not understand

Your sons and your daughters, they're beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one if you can not lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin'

A line it is drawn, the curse it is cast

And you know, the slow one now will later be fast

As the present now will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin' and the first one now will later be last

For the times they are a-changin', yes, they are a-changin'

Come gather 'round, gather 'round

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam

And accept it that soon, you'll be drenched to the bone
