The Times They Are A-Changin' (Live in Moscow & Leningrad, Russia - July/August 1987) - Billy Joel

Come gather 'round people wherever that you roam

And admit that the waters around you have grown

And accept it that soon

U'll be drenched to the bone if your time to you is worth savin'

Then U better start swimmin'

Or U'll sink like a stone 4 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 wheels still in spin

And there's no tellin' now that it's namin'

For the loser now will be later to win for the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers throughout land

And don't criticize what U can't understand

Your sons and your daughters R

Beyond your command your old road is rapidly agein'

So get out of the new one

If U can't lend your hand 4 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'
