Come gather round, people,
And admit that the waters
you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimmin'
or you'll sink like a stone
Who privatize 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
For the times, they are a -changin'
Don't stand in the doorway,
will be he who has stalled
The battle outside ra gin'
Will soon shake your windows
For the times, they are a -changin'
fathers throughout the land
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 -changin'
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
