Verse 1
Come 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 time to you is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin' 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
And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'
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 is raging
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle 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 your daughters are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
For the times, they are a-changin'
 
Verse 5
The line, it is drawn, the curse, it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be past
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
For the times, they are a-changin'

I totally agree! Bob Dylan is really great, and this is probably one of my favorite songs by him!

Great song, great lyrics. Of course the problem with criticizing the establishment is that, if you are successful enough, you become the establishment.

That said, Bob Dylan hasn't seemed to criticize younger generations of artists like many of his aged peers have.

Great song, indeed. One of my favorite Dylan songs.

I particularly like the way he talks about the inexorability of the passing of time, and the new generations challenging the previous ones -a timeless and universal theme.

Other than that, I haven't heard that Dylan criticizes new artists either.

I typed windows and walls and it wouldn't accept them!

Well, I can't see why it didn't work since it is the actual answer. I have checked the type-in and everything is OK too.
