The Times They Are A' Changin' [Live Album Version] - Peter, Paul and 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'
