The Times They Are A Changing

Dylan Bob

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 saving 
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone 
For the times, they are a changing 
 
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens 
And keep your eyes open, the chance won't come again 
And don't speak too soon, the wheel's still in spin 
And there's no telling who that it's naming 
Oh the loser will be later to win 
For the times, they are a changing 
 
Come senators, congressmen, please head the call 
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall 
For he that gets hurt will be her that has stalled 
The battle outside ragging will soon shake your windows 
And rattle your hall 
For the times, they are a changing 
 
Come mothers and fathers all over this land 
And don't criticize what you can't understand 
Your sons and your daughter are beyond your command 
Your old role is rapidly aging 
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend a hand 
For the times they are a changing 
 
The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast 
The slow one will later be fast 
And the present now will soon be the past 
The order is rapidly fading 
The first one now will later be last 
For the times, they are a changing
