The Times They Are A-changin' Lyrics - Bettye Lavette

Come here, gather 'round people 

Wherever you roam 

And admit that the waters 

Around you have grown 

And accept it that soon 

You'll be drenched to the bone 

If your breath is worth savin' 

You better start swimmin' 

Or you're gonna sink like a stone 

'Cause the times they're changin' 

Said the times, they're changin' now

Come here, writers and critics 

Prophesize with your pen 

Keep your eyes wide 

This chance might not come again 

Now don't speak too soon 

'Cause the wheel's still in spin 

There ain't no tellin' who it's namin' 

The loser is later to win 

Ah, times, they're changin' 

Said the times, the times, they're changin' now 

Ah, oh 

Photos 

Listen, senators and congressmen 

Please heed the call 

Don't block up the doorway 

Don't be standin' 'round in the hall 

'Cause the one that gets hurt 

Is the one who is stalled 

There's a battle ragin' 

Soon gonna shake your windows 

And all your walls 

'Cause times they're changin' 

Said times, they're changin' now 

Come mothers and fathers 

Oh, throughout the land 

Don't criticize 

What you can't understand 

Now, your sons and your daughters 

Are way beyond your command 

Ah, your old road is agin' 

Just get outta the way 

If you can't lend a hand 

Oh, the times, tell ya, they're changin' 

Said the times, they're changin' now 

I'm talkin' 'bout the times 

Tell ya, they're changin' 

Said the times, Lord, they're changin' now 

Said they're changin' 

Said they're changin' 

Ahh, times, they're changin' now
