The Times They Are a Changin'

Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown 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 senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he who 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' 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 'Cause the times they are a-changin' Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown 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' Oh, the times they are a-changin' Yeah, the times they are a-changin' Oh, the times they are a-changin' (And changin', changin', and changin', and changin')
