[Marc E. Bassy - The Times They Are A-Changin’ lyrics]
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 saving
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 don’t speak too soon
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
No I don't know, we don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will
Be he who has stalled
It's a battle outside and it's ragin'
Will soon break your windows
And'll 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 aging
Please get outta' 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
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 saving
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 don’t speak too soon
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
No I don't know, we don’t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will
Be he who has stalled
It's a battle outside and it's ragin'
Will soon break your windows
And'll 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 aging
Please get outta' 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
