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 prophecise 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 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 criticize what you can t understand 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 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 |
