|
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'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. |
|
There's a battle outside.And it is ragin'. |
|
It'll 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 agin'. |
|
Please get out of the new one.If you can't lend your hand. |
|
For the times they are a-changin'. |
|
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 fadin'. |
|
And the first one now. |
|
Will later be last For the times |
|
they are a-changin'. |
