    Lyrics:
    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 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'.

      As an old soul 28 year old, sometimes I switch between that being a good thing and a bad thing. The young will always make mistakes, and will forever change the dynamic. I've been lucky in keeping apace with the times, but I fear one day that won't be the case. There's also old people with new ideologies, and young with old ideologies. The best we can do sometimes is adapt, and let people make mistakes.

    One of my all time favourite songs! I recently turned 31, and have been listening to Mr Dylan since I was 4, i know that because in an old family video tape from 1997, there's me on my 4th birthday, at the dining table eating ice cream cake and listening to this song trying to sing along 😂❤
    I also still have the cassette tape that my father gave me, among others, when I was 6, maybe 7, because my father started using CDs, and I was over the moon. Thanks to my father, I have a love for music that was before my time, i possibly wouldn't have known if it weren't for him. 🙌🏻
    Bob Dylan, Richie vallens, Queen, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Beetles, The beachboys, Rod Stewart, Johnny Cash, The Doors, Red Hot Chillie Peppers, U2, Patsy Cline, Paul McCartney and so on! Love them all.

    Will soon shake your windows
    And rattle your walls

    For me, those lyrics hit the hardest. Every generation thinks that they're better than the next generation and that they're better than the previous generation.

He was right to warn but if you think the 2020's are more militaristic than the 1960's... well you obviously weren't there when I my draft board met. Military spending 1960 = 8.9% of GDP 2022 = 3.4%.

But what cannot be explained is the gradual increase of military spending even after the Soviet Union collapsed. New threats seemingly emerged from nowhere. Regarding minorities, while things have improved, they still haven’t got their reparations and are still fighting for racial justice. Oh and btw most minorities are not vaccinated as they do not trust the people in charge. Not much has really changed except divorce rates, teenage pregnancies, single parents, school shootings, depression, suicide, drug and alcohol abuse. Welcome to the new world :)
