	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 writers and critics
	Who prophesize with your pen
	And keep your eyes wide
	The chance won’t come again
	And 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’

	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’

	The line it is drawn
	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’
