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
prophesise with your pen
And keep
your eyes wide
The
chance won't come again
And
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-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
is 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'. |
