The Times They Are a Changin' Songtext
von The Hollies

|This one′s for the times that are a-changin'|

Come gather ′round people wherever you may roam
Admit that the waters around you have grown
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Well, you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes wide, the chance won′t come again
Don′t speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there′s no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changing


Come senators and congressmen, please heed the call
Don′t stand in the doorway, don't block in the hall
For he who has lost will be he who has all
There′s a storm outside and it's raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing

It′ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changing

Come mothers and fathers, throughout the land
Don′t criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
And your old road is rapidly aging
So get out of the new one if you can′t lend a hand
For the times they are a-changing

Come gather 'round people wherever you may roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
Admit that soon you′ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Well, you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing

For the times they are a-changing
