Ryan Harvey - The Times They Are Not A-Changin' lyrics

Come gather round people and fall to your knees And bow to the red white and blue m16's If you liked the riot cops you'll love the marines They'll be at all of your demonstrations To beat up your bodies and tear down your dreams For the times, they are not a-changin' Come children and students abide by our rules We'll send in the troops to recruit at your schools And we'll tell you it's noble, we'll tell you it's cool And you'll hear every word that we're saying And there's room in the jails if the cla**rooms are full For the times, they are not a-changin' Come mothers and fathers and friends of the slain While we exploit your loses to fund our campaigns We brought you the war, now there's no one to blame You best hope the new leader ain't crazy You can vote how you want but the outcomes the same For the times, they are not a-changin' Come senators, congress men, don't fear a thing They'll fall in the line behind the new king And accept with a smile what little you bring They'll forget all the wars you're arangin The bullets they'll peirce and the tasers will sting For the times, they are not a-changin' Come presidents, dictators take what you will These people are yours to tax and to k** If they ever rise up theres walls you can build The system is strong you're maintaining Just speak with a smile and lie with a sk** For the times, they are not a-changin' The paths they are plain, the choices are clear If things are to change, friends, it's gotta start here And if now ain't the time i hope the times near While there is still something left worth saving So stand up fight back to hell with your fear For the times, they are not a-changin'
