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')
