"I wrote these lyrics within half an hour of seeing Donald Trump's inaugural speech last Friday evening and played it in Salisbury that night. With apologies to Bob Dylan."


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
For the climate is obviously changing
But the man in the White House says no ones to blame
For the times they are a changin back

Come Mexicans, Muslims, LGBT and Jews
Keep your eyes wide for what’s on the news
For President Trump is expressing his views
And I feel that the mob he’s inciting
Will soon break your windown
And burn down your schools
For the times they are a changin back

Come mothers and daughters throughout the land
A bunch of old men have come up with a plan
Never mind your ambitions they have better ideas
How you should be behaving
So get back in the kitchen and button your lip
For the times they are a-changing back

In the land of the free and the home of the brave
Martin Luther King is spinning in his grave
To see a bigoted bully taking the stage
And he calls upon us to be faithful
To the ideas he died for in another age
For the times they are a-changing back

The line it is drawn and the curse it is cast
The slow one now will later be fast
As the prison now will later be past
Let’s hold on to that idea for a moment
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they need a changin.
