Tracy Chapman - The Times They Are A Changing Lyrics
Come gather round people wherever you roamAnd admit that the waters around you have grownAnd accept it that soon youll be drenched to the boneIf your time to you is worth savingThen youd better start swimming or youll sink like a stoneFor the times, they are a changingCome writers and critics who prophesize with your pensAnd keep your eyes open, the chance wont come againAnd dont speak too soon, the wheels still in spinAnd theres no telling who that its namingOh the loser will be later to winFor the times, they are a changingCome senators, congressmen, please head the callDont stand in the doorway, dont block up the hallFor he that gets hurt will be her that has stalledThe battle outside ragging will soon shake your windowsAnd rattle your hallFor the times, they are a changingCome mothers and fathers all over this landAnd dont criticize what you cant understandYour sons and your daughter are beyond your commandYour old role is rapidly agingPlease get out of the new one if you cant lend a handFor the times they are a changingThe line, it is drawn, the curse, it is castThe slow one will later be fastAnd the present now will soon be the pastThe order is rapidly fadingThe first one now will later be lastFor the times, they are a changing
