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'
Then 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
There's a battle outside and it is ragin'
It'll 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

Flogging Molly

Flogging Molly is perhaps one of the most well-known Celtic Punk bands led by Dave King who primarily performs lead vocals and acoustic guitar. The band is rounded out by Bridget Regan, Nathen Maxwell, Matt Hensley, Dennis Casey, Spencer Swain, and Mike Alonso. The band began in 1993 in Los Angeles where they played regular shows at a pub called Molly Malone’s, which is where the name Flogging Molly comes from. FM’s music is consistently centered around a celtic punk sound but frequently ranges from highly energetic and raucous songs such as Devil’s Dance Floor and The Hand of John L. Sullivan to more somber and reflective songs such as Whistles the Wind and The Son Never Shines (On Closed Doors). The band also touches on a variety topics in their songs such as politics, drinking, finances, history, and family.
