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 saving
Then you better start swimmin’ or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin’
Come writers and critics, who prophesize 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 up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ragin’
Will 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 aging
Please get outta’ 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 fading
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’
