The Times They Are A'Changin'

Come gather round people wherever you may roam Admit that the waters around you have grown Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is a savin' Well you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' Come writers and critics who prophisise with your pen Keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again 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 and congressman please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway, don't blacken the hall For he who has lost is he who has all There's a storm outside and it's ragin' It'll soon shake your windows, it'll rattle your walls For the times, they are a-changin' It'll soon shake your windows and it'll rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' Come mothers and fathers throughout the land Don't criticise what you can't understand Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command And your old road is rapidly agin' So get outta here or if you lend a hand For the times they are a-changin' Come gather round people wherever you may roam Admit that the waters around you have grown Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone If your time to you is a savin' Well you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' For the times they are a-changin'
