For the times they are a-changing
Don't speak too soon for the wheels still in spin
Come gather 'round people wherever you may roam
For the times, they are a changing
So get outta here or if you can lend a hand
Well, you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
It'll soon shake your windows and it'll rattle your walls
It'll soon shake your windows, it'll rattle your walls
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Well, you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the loser now will be later to win
Keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again
And your old road is rapidly agin'
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
There's a storm outside and it's ragin'
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Come sailors and congressman, please heed the call
For he who has lost is he who has all
Come writers and critics who prophecize with your pen
For the times they are a changing
Don't criticize what you can't understand
For the times, they are a changing
If your time to you is a savin'
For the times they are a changing
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
If your time to you is a savin'
Admit that the waters around you have grown
Don't stand in the doorway, don't blacken the hall
For the times, they are a changing
