The Times They Are A-Changin'

Bob Dylan




Come Cgather 'round Ampeople wherFever you Croam
And adCmit that the Amwaters aFround you have Ggrown
And Caccept it that Amsoon you'll be Fdrenched to the Cbone
If your Ctime to Dmyou is worth Gsavin'
So you Gbetter start Fswimming or you'll Csink like a Gstone
For the Ctimes, Fthey are a-Gchang - Cin'


Come Cwriters and Amcritics whoFprophecise with your Cpen
And Ckeep your eyes Amwide the chanceFwon't come aGgain
And Cdon't speak too Amsoon for theFwheel's still in Cspin
And there's Cno tellin'Dmwho that it's Gnamin'
For the GloserFnow will be Clater to Gwin
For the Ctimes, Fthey are a-Gchang - Cin'

Come Csenators AmcongressmenFplease heed the Ccall
Don'tCstand in the Amdoorway don'tFblock up theGhall
ForChe that gets Amhurt will beFhe who has Cstalled
There's a Cbattle outDmside and it's Gragin'
It'llGsoon shake yourFwindows andCrattle yourGwalls
For the Ctimes, Fthey are a-Gchang - Cin'

Come Cmothers and AmfathersFthroughout the Cland
And Cdon't critiAmcize what youFdon't underGstand
Your Csons and your Amdaughters are beFyond your comCmand
YourCold road is Dmrapidly Gagin'
Please getGout of theFnew one if youCcan't lend a Ghand
For the Ctimes, Fthey are a-Gchang - Cin'


The Cline it is Amdrawn theFcurse it isCcast
The Cslow one Amnow willFlater beGfast
As the Cpresent Amnow will Flater be Cpast
The Corder is Dmrapidly Gfadin'
And the Gfirst oneFnow willClater be Glast
For the Ctimes, Fthey are a-Gchang - Cin'
