BOB DYLAN - TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGING Lyrics

Come gather round people wherever you roamAnd admit that the waters around you have grownAnd accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the boneIf your time to you is worth savingThen you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stoneFor the times, they are a changingCome writers and critics who prophesize with your pensAnd keep your eyes open, the chance won't come againAnd don't speak too soon, the wheel's still in spinAnd there's no telling who that it's namingOh the loser will be later to winFor the times, they are a changingCome senators, congressmen, please head the callDon't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hallFor he that gets hurt will be her that has stalledThe battle outside ragging will soon shake your windowsAnd rattle your hallFor the times, they are a changingCome mothers and fathers all over this landAnd don't criticize what you can't understandYour sons and your daughter are beyond your commandYour old role is rapidly agingPlease get out of the new one if you can't lend a handFor the times they are a changingThe line, it is drawn, the curse, it is castThe slow one will later be fastAnd the present now will soon be the pastThe order is rapidly fadingThe first one now will later be lastFor the times, they are a changing
