Come gather round, people,
And admit that the waters
you'll be drenched to the ball.
If your time to you is worth saving,
then you better start swimming
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are changing.
who prophesise with your pen
the chance won't come again
For the wheel's still in spin
For the loser now will be later to win
Come you senators, congressmen,
Don't stand in the doorway,
will be he who has stalled
It'll soon shake your windows
For the times, they are changing
Come you mothers and fathers
And don't criticize what you
Your sons and your daughters
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one
if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a -changing
The line it has drawn, the curse it has cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a -chan gin'
