The Times Are Changing!

The Times They Are A-Changin

Come gather 'round people	Come mothers and fathers
Wherever you roam	Throughout the land
And admit that the waters	And don't criticize
Around you have grown	What you can't understand
And accept it that soon	Your sons and your daughters
You'll be drenched to the bone	Are beyond your command
If your time to you	Your old road is
Is worth savin'	Rapidly agin'
Then you better start swimmin'	Please get out of the new one
Or you'll sink like a stone	If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.	For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics	The line it is drawn
Who prophesize with your pen	The curse it is cast
And keep your eyes wide	The slow one now
The chance won't come again	Will later be fast
And don't speak too soon	As the present now
For the wheel's still in spin	Will later be past
And there's no tellin' who	The order is
That it's namin'	Rapidly fadin'
For the loser now	And the first one now
Will be later to win	Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.	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'.
