The New Lyrics for 2018:
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 Me Too
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 platforms 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-changing
* * * * * * *
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 your words 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 re-arranging
For you have the power, but we have the vote
The times they are a-changin'
* * * * * * *

Look past what he says and look at how he acts
The fire and fury is raging
For his words can hurt, but your words can fight back
New York Times, they aren't a-failin'
Look past what he says and look at how he acts . . .
Yep...well said!
His voice is not the only thing that he's lost.

That is, if it really was him who rewrote a song that was meaningful, and probably still is.

In a very special post–Super Bowl edition of The Tonight Show, filmed at Minneapolis’s Orpheum Theatre, Jimmy Fallon paid homage to Minnesota’s own Bob Dylan with an almost painfully earnest rewrite of the singer’s 1964 song “The Times They Are a-Changin’.” Spoiler alert: The updates primarily focus on the collective response to a certain president, and it ain’t LBJ.
The first half is true. I'm not at all sure of the second.
I'm not at all sure of the second.
Actually I think the reason he chasngedn the wordsand put out this updated version was-- an attempt to change that!
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'
A call to action...
