The Times They Are A Changin’ (Performance Version)

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 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 prophesize with your pen

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

Don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin' who it's namin'

For the losers now will be later to win

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

And your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend the hand

For the times they are a-changin'

The line, it is drawn, and the curse it is cast

The slow one now will later be fast

As the present now will later be past

And the order is rapidly fadin'

The first one now will later be last

For the times they are a changin'

For the times they are a changin'

For the times they are a changin'

For the times they are a changin'
