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 mothers and fathers throughout the land

And don't criticize what you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

So get out of the new one, if you can't lend your hand

For the times, they are a-changin'

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

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'
