| Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
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-changing.
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
There's a battle outside
And it's raging
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing.
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-changing.
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
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-changing
For the times they are a-changing
For the times they are a-changing
