The Times They Are A-Changin'

	Come gather 'round people
	Wherever you roam
	And admit that the waters
	Above 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'll sink like a stone
	For the times they are a-changin', 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 will be namin'.
	For the loser now
	Will be later to win
	For the times they are a-changin', changin'.
	Come senators and 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
	There's a battle outside
	And it is ragin'.
	For wind'll soon shake your windows
	And rattle your walls
	For the times they are a-changin', they are a-changin',
	Hey Come mothers and fathers
	Throughout the land
	And don't criticize
	What you can't understand
	For your sons and your daughters
	Are beyond your command
	Your old road is
	Rapidly agin'.
	Please get out of the new one
	If you can't lend your hand
	For the times they are a-changin', they are a-changin',
	The line it is drawn
	And the curse it is cast
	And the slow one now
	Will later be fast
	As the present now
	Will later be past
	The order is
	Rapidly fadin'.
	For the first one now
	Will later be last
	For the times they are a-changin', changin'.
