The Times They Are A-changing now will later be past. The order is rapidly
(Bob Dylan) fading. And the first one now will later be
last, For the times they are a-changing.
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 saving, Then
you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like
a stone, For the times they are a-changing.
Come writers and critics who prophesy 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 telling
who that it's naming, For the loser now will be
later to win, For the times they are a-changing.
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's
raging, It'll soon shake you windows and rattle
your walls, For the times they ar a-changing.
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land,
And don't criticize if you can't understand,
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your
command, Your old road is rapidly aging, Please
get out of the new one if you can't lend your
hand, For the times they are a-changing.
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast, The
slow one now will later be fast. As the present
