The Times They Are A-Changin'
Tracy Chapman
Come gather round people wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
And accept it that soon you'í‚'ll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you'í‚'d better start swimming or you'í‚'ll sink like a stone
For the times, they are a changing
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pens
And keep your eyes open, the chance woní‚''t come again
And doní‚''t speak too soon, the wheel'í‚'s still in spin
And thereí‚''s no telling who that ití‚'s naming
Oh the loser will be later to win
For the times, they are a changing
Come senators, congressmen, please head the call
Don'í‚'t stand in the doorway, don'í‚'t block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be her that has stalled
The battle outside ragging will soon shake your windows
And rattle your hall
For the times, they are a changing
Come mothers and fathers all over this land
And doní‚''t criticize what you caní‚''t understand
Your sons and your daughter are beyond your command
Your old role is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you caní‚'t lend a hand
For the times, they are a changing
The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one will later be fast
And the present now will soon be the past
The order is rapidly fading
The first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a changing
