The Times They Are A-Changin'

Guess what Oregon? You don't have to act like a republican no more! The days of passivity are over! We can finally bring to bare the restoration of civil and human rights in Oregon, and tell the truth! Doesn't THAT feel great??

I'm afraid for some, it may be too late, but not me. I've been practicing singing an old familiar song, accapella (the whole guitar thing is too much), and plan to get my wife involved. I never realized there are 5 verses, as different people perform it different ways. I prefer the way it was written in 1963, by none other than Bob Dylan himself. Now my task is finding a venue to sing it. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

The Times They Are A-Changin'

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 saving
Then you'd better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
Oh the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics who prophecise 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
Oh 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 be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it's raging
It'll soon break your windows and rattle your walls
Oh 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
And your old road is rapidly aging
Please get out of the way if you can't lend a hand
Oh the times they are a-changin'

The line is drawn, the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the present now will later be last
The order is rapidly fading
And the first one now will later be last
Oh the times they are a-changin'
Oh the times they are a-changin'
