Joel Billy - The Times They Are A-changin' Lyrics
The times they are a-changinCome gather round people wherever you roam,And admit that the waters around you have grown,And accept it that soon youll be drenched to theBoneIf your time to you is worth savinThen you better start swimminOr youll sink like a stoneFor the times they are a-changinCome writers and critics who prophecise with yourPenAnd keep your eyes wide,The chance wont come again,And dont speak too soonFor the wheels still in spinAnd theres no tellin whoThat its naminFor the loser nowWill be later to winFor the times they are a-changinCome senators, congressmen,Please heed the callDont stand in the doorway,Dont block the hall,For he that gets hurtWill be he who has stalled,Theres a battleOutside and its raginItll soon shake your windowsAnd rattle your wallsFor the times they are a-changinCome mothers and fathersThroughout the land,And dont criticizeWhat you cant understandYour sons and your daughtersAre beyond your command,Your old road is rapidly ageinPlease get out of the new oneIf you cant lend your handFor the times they are a-changinThe 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 fadinAnd the first one nowWill later be lastFor the times they are a-changin
