The Times They Are A-Changin’ (Live at Sony Music Studios, New York, NY - November 1994)

[Verse 1]

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 savin’

Then you better start swimmin’ or you’ll sink like a stone

For the times they are a-changin’

[Verse 2]

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide, the chance won’t come again

Don’t speak too soon for the wheel’s still in spin

And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’

For the loser now will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin’

[Verse 3]

Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don’t lock up  the doorway

Don’t block up the hall

He that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’

It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin’

[Verse 4]

Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

Don’t criticize what you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin’

Please get out of the new one if you can’t lend your hand

For the times they are a-changin’

[Verse 5]

The line it is drawn and 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

For the times they are a-changin’
