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