The Times They Are A Changin — текст песни (Byrds, The)

Written by Bob Dylan

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 savin`
Then you better start swimming
Or you`ll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin

Come writers and critics
who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes open
The chance won`t come again
Watch what you say
For the wheel`s still in spin
And there ain`t tellin` 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
The battle outside raging
It`ll rattle your windows
and shake down your walls
For the times they are a changin

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don`t criticise
What you can`t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Get out of the new one
If you can`t lend your hand
For the times they are a changin
