Are beyond your command
For he that gets hurt
What you can't understand
Please heed the call
The slow one now
And the curse it is cast
For the times they, they are a-changin'
Don't block at the doorway
Will later be fast
Come senators, Congressmen
Don't speak too soon
The order is
That it's namin'
The chance won't come again
And admit that the waters
Don't criticize
You'll be drenched to the bone
Will be later to win
If your time to you
And it's ragin'
Is worth savin'
There's a battle outside
Rapidly fadin'
It'll soon shake your windows
For the times they are a-changin'
Will later be last
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
For your times they are a-changin'
And there's no tellin' who
Who prophesize with your pen
And accept it that soon
Your old road is
Will later be past
Don't block up the hall
For the wheel's still in spin
And rattle your walls
Your sons and your daughters
Or you'll sink like a stone
If you can't lend a hand
Keep your eyes wide
For the loser now
As the present now
For the times they are a-changin'
Around you have grown
Please get out of the new one
Then you better start swimmin'
The line it is drawn
Rapidly agin'
And the first one now
Come writers and critics
Will be he who has stalled
