Well, something's in the air
burning hot and sweet
there's a man over there
sittin' in the street
I'm over here
with a rusted forty-four
sittin' on the steps
of your back door
it's one of those days
Well, the only thing that moves
is the laundry on the line
and a dusty dog that bites
just to kill the time
If you should find
you roll into this town
Honey, do yourself a favor,
roll straight back down
it's one of those towns
...
well, the man I'll lovin'
sure do treat me mean
he's the meanest man
I most ever seen
I go around
tryin' ta make amends
he goes to town
and screws it up again
he's one of those men
well, something's in the air
burning hot and sweet
there's a man over there
sittin' in the street
I'm over here
with a rusted forty-four
sittin' on the steps
of your back door
it's one of those days

(12,361 posts)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'
And 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
The battle outside ragin'
Will 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'

(36,773 posts)There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it's the rhetoric of failure
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
We are spirits in the material world
Are spirits in the material world
Where does the answer lie?
Living from day to day
If it's something we can't buy
There must be another way
