Updated AcoustaTronic take on a Dylan Classic. Half a Century ago and seems progress made is too often backsliding in so many ways. Hope and prayers for America and our World at Large. Seems we could and should be Better. Took a bit of Liberty in substituting my own revised lyrics for the 4th Verse. Crafted with admiration and respect for the Genius that is 'Dylan'. Celebrate and Cherish Your Freedom.....Don't ever take it for granted. Keep Peaceful Protest alive, because The Times Are A' Changin'. The Times They Are A Changin' Original by Bob Dylan (written - 1963, released 1965) 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' Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide (open) 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 it's namin' For the loser now will be later to win For the times they are a-changin' 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' It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin' Despicable Liars who won’t do their part For they have no conscience nor care in their heart Picking your pockets for their insatiable greed Oh, but you just wait They’ll remove your Republic .......and replace it with Hate 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 As 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' For The Times They Are a-Changin'
