The Times They Are A Changin Lyrics

The Times They Are A Changin 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 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 its ragin'.

Will 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(g)'.

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'.
