The Times They Are A-Changin'

Come gather 'round people
 Wherever you roam
 And admit that the waters
 Above 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', 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 will be namin'.
 For the loser now
 Will be later to win
 For the times they are a-changin', changin'.
 ♪
 Come senators and 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'.
 For wind'll soon shake your windows
 And rattle your walls
 For the times they are a-changin', they are a-changin', Hey
 Come mothers and fathers
 Throughout the land
 And don't criticize
 What you can't understand
 For your sons and your daughters
 Are beyond your command
 Your 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', they are a-changin',
 ♪
 The line it is drawn
 And the curse it is cast
 ♪
 And the slow one now
 Will later be fast
 As the present now
 Will later be past
 The order is
 Rapidly fadin'.
 For the first one now
 Will later be last
 For the times they are a-changin', changin'.
