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¡¯.
|
|
Come senators, congressmen
|
Please heed the call
|
Don¡¯t stand in the doorway
|
Don¡¯t block up the hall
|
For 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¡¯.
|
|
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¡¯.
|
Please get out of the new one
|
If you can¡¯t lend your hand
|
For the times they are a-changin¡¯.
