text: Come gather round people where ever 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
  Then you better start swimmin or youll sink like a stone
  For the times they are a changin!
  Come writers and critics who prophesy with your pen
  And keep your eyes wide the chance wont come again
  And dont speak too soon for the wheels still in spin
  And theres no tellin who that its namin
  For the loser now will be later to win
  For the times they are a changin!
  Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
  Dont stand in the doorway dont block up the hall
  For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
  Theres a battle outside and its ragin
  Itll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
  For the times they are a changin!
  Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
  And dont criticize what you cant understand
  Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
  Your old road is rapidly agin
  Please get out of the new one if you cant 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 fadin
  And the first one now will later be last
  For the times they are a changin!
