Mountain - The Times They Are A-Changin' lyrics
[Mountain - The Times They Are A-Changin' lyrics]
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 swimming or
You'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Prophesize with your pen
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 telling who that it's naming
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 who gets hurt will
Be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside, and it's raging
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your halls
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 out of the new one
If you can't lend a hand
For the times they are a-changin'
For the times they are a-changin'
The times they are a-changin'
The times they are a-changin'
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 swimming or
You'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics
Prophesize with your pen
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 telling who that it's naming
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 who gets hurt will
Be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside, and it's raging
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your halls
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 out of the new one
If you can't lend a hand
For the times they are a-changin'
For the times they are a-changin'
The times they are a-changin'
The times they are a-changin'
