The Times They Are A-Changin'

The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bettye Lavette

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan

Composed by：Bob Dylan

Come here gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

Just accept it that soon

You'll be drenched to the bone

If your breath is worth savin'

You better start swimmin'

Or you're gonna sink like a stone

'Cause the times they're changin'

Said the times they're changin' now

Come here writers and critics

Prophesize with your pen

Keep your eyes wide open

This chance might not come again

Now don't speak too soon

'Cause the wheel's still in spin

There ain't no tellin' who it's namin'

The loser is later to win

Ah times they're changin'

Said the times the times they're changin' now

Listen senators and congressmen

Please heed the call

Don't block up the doorway

Don't be standin' 'round in the hall

'Cause the one that gets hurt

Is the one who is stalled

There's a battle ragin'

Soon gonna shake your windows

And all your walls

'Cause times they're changin'

Said the times they're changin' now

Come you mothers and fathers

Oh throughout the land

Don't criticize

What you can't understand

Now your sons and your daughters

Are way beyond your command

Ah your old road is agin'

Just get outta the way

If you can't lend a hand

Oh the times tell ya they're changin'

Said the times they're changin' now

I'm talkin' 'bout the times

Tell ya they're changin'

Said the times Lord they're a-changin' now

Said they're changin'

Said they're changin'

Ahh times they're changin' now
