The Times They Are A Changin’ (Performance Version)

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 writers and critics who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again Don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who it's namin' For the losers now will be later to win 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 And your old road is rapidly agin' Please get out of the new one if you can't lend the hand For the times they are a-changin' The line, it is drawn, and the curse it is cast The slow one now will later be fast As the present now will later be past And the order is rapidly fadin' The first one now will later be last For the times they are a changin' For the times they are a changin' For the times they are a changin' For the times they are a changin'
