Billy Joel - The Times They Are A Changin' Lyrics
The Times They Are A-Changin'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 theboneif your time to you is worth savin'then you better start swimmin'or you'll sink like a stonefor the times they are a-changin'Come writers and critics who prophecise with yourpenand keep your eyes wide,the chance won't come again,and don't speak too soonfor the wheel's still in spinand there's no tellin' whothat it's namin'for the loser nowwill be later to winfor the times they are a-changin'Come senators, congressmen,please heed the calldon't stand in the doorway,don't block the hall,for he that' gets hurtwill be he who has stalled,there's a battleoutside and it's ragin'it'll soon shake your windowsand rattle your wallsfor the times they are a-changin'Come mothers and fathersthroughout the land,and don't criticizewhat you can't understandyour sons and your daughtersare beyond your command,your old road is rapidly agein'please get out of the new oneif you can't lend your handfor the times they are a-changin'The line it is drawn,the curse it is cast,the slow one now willlater be fast,as the present nowwill later be pastthe order is rapidly fadin'and the first one nowwill later be lastfor the times they are a-changin'[
