Neil Young - 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 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 thе loser now will be later to win
For thе 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
The battle outside ragin'
Will 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 aging
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 fading
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'
