Your old road is rapidly agein'
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
And don't criticize what you can't understand
For the times they are a-changin'
For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
And keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
Come senators, and congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block the hall
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Come writers and critics who prophecise with your pen
The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast
The order is rapidly fadin'
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin'
The slow one now will later be fast
For the times they are a-changin'
For the times they are a-changin'
For the times they are a-changin'
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
And there's no tellin' who it's namin'
For the times they are a-changin'
As the present now will later be past
For the times they are a-changin'
The first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
For the loser now will be later to win
