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 aging
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
I have a much more complicated relationship with this song now that I'm raising a son and a daughter in a generation defined by rising facism and cognitive decline, but it's undoubtedly top drawer poetry.
