Verse 1

Come gather round people where ever you roam
Admit that the waters around you have grown
Accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth savin?

Chorus

Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin 

Verse 2

Come writers and critics who Prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes open the chance won't come again
And watch what you say for the wheel's still in spin
There's no tellin who that it's name'n

Chorus

For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a changin 

Verse 3

Come senators congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's ragin

Chorus

Will rattle our windows and shake down your walls
For the times they are a changin 
[Verse 4
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
And don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly age'n

Chorus

Get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand 
For the times they are a changin
