Come gather 'round people where ever you roam And admit that the waters around you have grown Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone And if your time to you is worth saving Well you better start swimming or sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin' Come writers and critics who prophesize with pen Keep your eyes wide the change won't come again Don't speak too soon when the wheel's still in spin The old road is rapidly aging And the losers now will be later to win 'Cause the times they are a-changin' Come senator, congressmen, please heed the cause Don't stand in the doorway or block up the halls For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled And the battle outside that is raging Will soon shake you're windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'
