The Times They Are A-Changin' [alternate version] Lyrics by Beach Boys

[I'm gonna protest now]

Well
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'd better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Right!
Come senators and congressmen, now please hear the call
Now don't stand in the bathroom, don't block the hall
For he who gets hurt will be he who is stalled
Oh, the battle outside that's a-ragin'
Will soon shake your windows and rattle your wall
For the times they are a-changin'

Now, OK
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
Now don't criticize what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command
Now your old road is rapidly agin'
Well, please get outta the new, if you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

(Composer: Bob Dylan)
