D.O.A The Times They Are A-changin
Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown
Admit that soon you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes wide open, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin
There's no telling who that it's naming
For the loser now will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
Come senators, and congressmen, please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he who gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it’s raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
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 are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin' [x4]
