Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin' (Official Audio)

Known as The Bard and likely the greatest songwriter of all time, Bob Dylan has inspired more people to pick up an acoustic guitar than any luthier. Perhaps even more than any guitar-making company.

With songs like “It’s Alright, Ma (I’m Only Bleeding)” and “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” Dylan writes short stories, choruses and one-liners as if transcribing them from the heavens. But, what is the best of the best? We dive into Dylan’s best 10 lyrics—those lines that have since been blended into the fabric of history.

1. “The Times They Are A-Changin'”

Not Dylan’s first hit, but the song that defined him as the voice of a generation, this song includes the iconic chorus (and song title name), as well as the epic socially relevant today stanza:

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’

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'. #BobDylan #Folk #SingerSongwriter
