The Times They Are A-changin' Lyrics - Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

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' 

Come senators, congressman 

Please heed the call 

Don't stand in the doorway 

Don't block up the hall 

For he who gets hurt 

Will be he who has stalled 

There's a battle outside and it is 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 

You old road is rapidly agin' 

Please get out of the new one 

If you can't lend your hand 

For the times they are a-changin'
