|
(Bob Dylan) |
|
Come gather 'round people where ever 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 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 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's 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'! |
