The Times They Are A-Changin' - By Bob Dylan

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 saving

Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like

a stone

For the times, they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophesize with

your pen

And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't

come again

And don't speak too soon, for 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 stand in the doorway

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled

The battle outside ragin'

Will soon shake your windows and rattle your

walls 

For the times, they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don't criticize what you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly aging

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend

your hand

The line, it is drawn

The curse, it is cast

The slow one now will later be fast

As the present now will later be past

The order is rapidly fading

And the first one now will later be last

For the times, they are a-changin'

For the times, they are a-changin'
