Come gather round people, wherever you roam

And admit that the waters around you have grown

 And expect that it soon, you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth saving

Well 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

And the 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

And the slow one now will later be fast

 As the present now will later be past

And the order is rapidly fadin'

 And the first one now will be later the last

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

 And you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone

 And it shakes at your windows and rattles your walls

 For the loser now will be later to win

 For the times they are a- changin'.
