So, ESRG came right into our town
And burned up some batt'ries, 'til they were all black and brown
Well they burned 'em all up, then they brought some more down
They'd have kept it all up 'til in our graves we were layin'
We gotta do something before, in the toxins, we drown
For the times, they are a changin'​

So the citizens brought the commissioners questions, galore
And made them all sad 'til their feelings were sore
So they drafted an ordinance that said "WE CAN'T TAKE IT NO MORE"
It's now time to speak up if your voice is worth saving
If you don't make yourself heard, your rights are gone, that's for sure
For the times they are a changin'​

Now, come you citizens of Piqua, and heed our loud call
Cast your vote in the election when it comes 'round this fall
Remove all of those folks who were in this, at all
It's now next year's commission, that we are arranging
Choose wisely now, lest we run into a wall
For the times, they are a changin'​
