The Times They Are A‐Changing Songtext
von The Brothers & Sisters

Come gather ′round people
Wherever you roam
(Gather 'round, gather ′round)
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
Prophesize with your pen
(Gather ′round, gather 'round)
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′
The losers now
May be later to win
For the times
They are a-changin'

Here′s what I like about it
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
(Heed the call, heed the call)
Don't you stand in the doorway
Don′t you block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside
And I tell you, it is ragin′
It'll soon shake your windows
And then it'll rattle your walls
For the times
They are a-changin′
