The Times They Are a-Changin' Lyrics by Bob Dylan

0:14Come gather 'round people wherever you roam

0:20And admit that the waters around you have grown

0:25And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone

0:30If your time to you is worth savin'

0:35Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone

0:39For the times, they are a-changin'

0:46Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen

0:52And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again

0:57And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin

1:03And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'

1:07For the loser now will be later to win

1:11'Cause the times, they are a-changin'

1:19Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call

1:24Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall

1:29For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled

1:35'Cause the battle outside ragin'

1:39Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

1:44For the times, they are a-changin'

2:02Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

2:07And don't criticize what you can't understand

2:13Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

2:18Your old road is rapidly aging

2:22Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand

2:27'Cause the times, they are a-changin'

2:34The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast

2:39The slowest now will later be fast

2:45As the present now will later be past

2:50The order is rapidly fadin'

2:55And the first one now will later be last

2:59'Cause the times, they are a-changin'

3:04♪
