The Times They Are A-Changin' (Live Version)

The Times They Are A-Changin' (Live Version) - Peter, Paul & Mary

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 prophecise with your pen

And keep your eyes wide the chance

Won't come again

And don't speak too soon

For the wheel's still in spin

And there's no tellin'

Who that it's namin' for the loser

Now will be later to win

For the times they are a changin'

Come senators congressmen please heed the call

Don't stand in the doorway

Don't block the hall

For he that' gets hurt will be he who has stalled

And there's a battle outside and it's 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 if you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your 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'

The line it is drawn the curse it is cast

The slow one now will later be fast

As the present now will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin'

And the first one now

Will later be last for the times

They are a changin'
