The Times They Are A-changin' Lyrics - Billy Joel

The times they are a-changin' 

Come gather 'round people wherever you roam, 

And admit that the waters around you have grown, 

And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the 

Bone 

If your time to you is worth savin' 

Then you better start swimmin' 

Or you'll sink like a stone 

For the times they are a-changin'

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Come writers and critics who prophecise with your 

Pen 

And keep your eyes wide, 

The chance won't come again, 

And don't speak too soon 

For the wheel's still in spin 

And there's no tellin' who 

That it's namin' 

For the loser now 

Will be later to win 

For the times they are a-changin' 

Photos 

Come senators, congressmen, 

Please heed the call 

Don't stand in the doorway, 

Don't block the hall, 

For he that' gets hurt 

Will be he who has stalled, 

There's a battle 

Outside and it's ragin' 

It'll soon shake your windows 

And rattle your walls 

For the times they are a-changin' 

Come mothers and fathers 

Throughout the land, 

And don't criticize 

What you can't understand 

Your sons and your daughters 

Are beyond your command, 

Your old road is rapidly agein' 

Please get out of the new one 

If you can't lend your hand 

For the times they are a-changin' 

The line it is drawn, 

The curse it is cast, 

The slow one now will 

Later be fast, 

As the present now 

Will later be past 

The order is rapidly fadin' 

And the first one now 

Will later be last 

For the times they are a-changin'
