Lyrics
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 swimming
or you’ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changing
Come writers and critics
Who prophesies 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’s 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 criticise
What you can’t understand.
Y our sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Y our 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’
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’s ragin’
It’ll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
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 thefirst one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
