The times they are a changin


Written by 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 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 open
The chance won't come again
Watch what you say
For the wheel's still in spin
And there ain't tellin' who that it's naming
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 who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside raging
It'll rattle your windows
And shake down your walls
For the times they are a changin

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticise
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a changin

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

The Byrds were a highly influential American folk rock band active from 1964 to 1973. They played a significant role in the birth and popularization of folk rock with their distinctive sound, characterized by the pioneering use of the Rickenbacker 12-string guitar, known as "jingle-jangle". The group achieved international fame with their cover of Bob Dylan's Mr Tambourine Man, which became a global hit in 1965. Among the most notable members were Roger McGuinn (guitar and vocals), David Crosby (vocals and guitar), Gene Clark (vocals and guitar), and Chris Hillman (bass). Besides Mr Tambourine Man, other representative tracks from their repertoire include Eight Miles High, Turn! Turn! Turn!, and I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better. The Byrds released several successful albums, including Mr. Tambourine Man (1965), Turn! Turn! Turn! (1966), and Younger Than Yesterday (1967). Their impact on music has been enormous, influencing generations of folk rock and country rock artists.
