-
Come gather 'round, people
-
Wherever you roam
-
And admit that our country
-
Don't feel like our home
-
And that silence
speaks louder
-
Than those who condone
-
If a tweet to you
is worth favin'
-
Then lift up your voices
and put down your phones
-
For the times,
they are a-changin'
-
Come women and men
who hashtag MeToo
-
And believe me when I say
that we believe you
-
For weak is the man
who calls truth "fake news"
-
Time's Up,
our silence, we're breaking
-
And even though Mel Gibson
was in "Daddy's Home 2"
-
Well, the times,
they are a-changin'
-
Come athletes with plaforms
throughout the land
-
Who by taking a knee
are taking a stand
-
And before you shout out
that they should be banned
-
Listen to what
they are saying
-
Perhaps they'd stand up
if you reached out your hand
-
Well, the times,
they are a-changin'
-
Come journalists, writers
who report the facts
-
And brandish your pen
to fend off his attacks
-
Look past what he says
and look at how he acts
-
The fire and fury is raging
-
For his words can hurt,
but doers can fight back
-
"New York Times,"
they aren't a-failin'
-
Come leaders who bully
like Internet trolls
-
We'll curse you
with four-letter words
-
Love and hope
-
For we will go high
even when you go low
-
The order is rearranging
-
For you have the power,
but we have the vote
-
The times,
they are a-changin'
