paroles de chanson The Times They Are a-Changin' - Bettye LaVette

Come here, gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
Just 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 open
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

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 the times, they're changin' now

Come, you 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 a-changin' now

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