Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon youll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin
Ahh you better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes wide the chance wont come again
And dont speak too soon for the wheels still in spin
Theres no tellin who that its namin
The loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Dont criticize what you cant understand
Your sons and daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin
So get out of the new one it cant lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin
