Bob Dylan, in "The Times They Are a-Changin'", on The Times They Are A-Changin' (1964)
“
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'.
