Nanci Griffith - Time Of Inconvenience Lyrics
We're living in a time of inconvenienceCompassion fails me with this meanness in the airOur city streets are filled with violenceSo we close our doors to the cityAnd pretend that it's not thereHere I go againBack out on these mean streetsThe evil seems to cling to the soles of my feetCuz' I'm living in a time of inconvenienceAt an inconvenient timeWe're living in the age of communicationWhere the only voices heard have money in their handsWhere greed has become a sophisticationAnd if you ain't got moneyYou ain't got nothin' in this landAn' here I am one lonely womanOn these mean streetsWhere the right to life man has become my enemyCuz' I'm living in his time of inconvenienceAt an inconvenient time(bridge)I've turned my cheekAs my history fadesWhile the clock ticks awayAny progress we've madeI never thoughtI'd be ashamed to be humanAfraid to sayMy time has seen it's dayCuz' I'm living in a time of inconvenienceliving in a time of inconvenience living in a time of inconvenienceIt's an inconvenient timeThis is the time of greed and powerWhere everyone needs to have someone to shove aroundOur children come to us for answersListening for freedom but they don't know the soundAnd there they are, our childrenDumped out in these mean streetsThe evil sweeps them upAnd brings them to their kneesCuz' they're living in our time of inconvenienceThey're living in the age of communicationThis is the time of greed and powerThis is the time that I wish was not mineCuz' it's an inconvenient timetag(time, oh time)(it's an inconvenient time
