Yeah. The Times They really are A Changin'

I would like to take a moment, and for those reading this, to put down some lyrics that mean something. Brought to you by the great and ever so talented, Bob Dylan.

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
        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'.

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 ragin'.
 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 agin'.
      Please get out of the new one
      If you can't lend your hand
      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'.
