Nanci Griffith - Time Of Inconvenience lyrics

Time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time We're living in a time of inconvenience Compa**ion fails me with this meaness in the air City streets are filled with violence So we close our doors to the city And pretend that it's not there Here I go again Back out on these mean streets The evil seems to cling to the soles of my feet Because I'm living in a time of inconvenience At an inconvenient time We're living in the age of communication Where the only voices heard have money in their hands Where greed has become a sophistication And if you ain't got money You ain't got nothin' in this land But, here I am one lonely woman On these mean streets Where the right to life man has become my enemy Cuz I'm living in his time of inconvenience At an inconvenient time And I've turned my cheek As my history fades While the clock ticks away Any progress we've made I never thought I'd be ashamed to be human Afraid to say My time has seen its day Because I'm living in a time of inconvenience Living in a time of inconvenience Living in a time of inconvenience In an inconvenient time This is a time of greed and power Where everyone needs to have someone to shove around Our children come to us for answers Listening for freedom but they don't know the sound And there they are, our children Dumped out in these mean streets The evil sweeps them up And brings them to their knees Because they're living in our time of inconvenience They're living in the age of communication This is a time of greed and power This is a time that I wish was not mine Because it's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time It's an inconvenient time
