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
Your time and yours worth savin'
And now 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
Just keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And now don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that they're namin'
And the loser now is later to win
And the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
And don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
And you know the battle outside ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout this land
Now don't criticize
What you can't understand
For your sons and your daughters
They're beyond your command
You know the old road is rapidly agin'
You better get out on the new one
If you can't lend a hand
And the times they are a-changin'
Now the line, it is drawn
And the curse, it is cast
And the slow one now
Will later be fast
And the present now
Will later be past
You know the order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
