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