Lyrics

[00:02.47] Come gather 'round people
[00:04.52] Wherever you roam
[00:07.46] And admit that the waters
[00:10.27] Around you have grown
[00:11.89] And accept it that soon
[00:14.07] You'll be drenched to the bone
[00:18.32] If your time to you
[00:20.50] Is worth savin'
[00:22.56] Then you better start swimmin'
[00:24.62] Or you'll sink like a stone
[00:27.05] For the times they are a-changin'
[00:30.74] Come writers and critics
[00:41.16] Who prophesize with your pen
[00:44.27] And keep your eyes wide
[00:46.15] The chance won't come again
[00:48.40] And don't speak too soon
[00:50.02] For the wheel's still in spin
[00:52.58] And there's no tellin' who
[00:55.57] That it's namin'
[00:57.90] For the loser now
[00:59.71] Will be later to win
[01:01.71] For the times they are a-changin'
[01:18.05] Come senators congressmen
[01:18.68] Please heed the call
[01:23.05] Don't stand in the doorway
[01:24.86] Don't block up the hall
[01:27.29] For he that gets hurt
[01:28.48] Will be he who has stalled
[01:31.28] There's a battle outside
[01:34.78] And it is ragin'
[01:36.53] It'll soon shake your windows
[01:38.65] And rattle your walls
[01:40.59] For the times they are a-changin'
[01:43.03] Come mothers and fathers
[01:53.51] Throughout the land
[01:55.07] And don't criticize
[01:58.13] What you can't understand
[02:00.75] Your sons and your daughters
[02:02.56] Are beyond your command
[02:04.81] Your old road is
[02:07.12] Rapidly agein'
[02:09.74] Please get out of the new one
[02:12.30] If you can't lend your hand
[02:14.10] For the times they are a-changin'
[02:17.60] The line it is drawn
[02:37.85] The curse it is cast
[02:40.91] The slow one now
[02:42.97] Will later be fast
[02:44.97] As the present now
[02:46.59] Will later be past
[02:49.02] The order is
[02:51.52] Rapidly fadin'
[02:52.89] And the first one now
[02:56.20] Will later be last
[02:58.13] For the times they are a-changin'
