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 changing

Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen

Keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again

Don't speak too soon for the wheels 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 changing

Come sailors 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 changing

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 can lend a hand

For the times they are a-changin'
