The Times They Are A-changin

(bob dylan)
Come gather round people wherever you roam,
And admit that the waters around you have grown,
And accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin
Then you better start swimmin
Or youll 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 wont come again,
And dont speak too soon
For the wheels still in spin
And theres no tellin who
That its namin
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin
Come senators, congressmen,
Please heed the call
Dont stand in the doorway,
Dont block the hall,
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled,
Theres a battle
Outside and its ragin
Itll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land,
And dont criticize
What you cant 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 cant 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
