Come gather 'round people

wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

around you have grown

Accept it soon,

you'll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you

is worth savin'

Then you better start swimmin',

you could sink like a stone

For the times,

they are a changin'

Come mothers and fathers

throughout the land

And don't criticize

what you can't understand

Your sons and your daughters,

beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin'

So get out of the new one

if you can't lend your hand

For the times,

they are a changin'

For the times,

they are a changin'

The line, it is drawn,

the curse, it is cast

The slow one now

will later be fast

The present now

will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin'

And the first one now

will later be last

For the times

they are a changin'
