Frances Black - Time of Inconvenience lyrics

We're living in a time of inconvenience
Compassion fails me with this
Meanness in the air
Our city streets are filled with violence
We close our doors and just 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

'Cause, 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
Greed has become a sophistication
If you don't have money
You've got nothing in this land
Here I am only lonely woman
On these mean streets where a right to life
Man has become my enemy

'Cause, I'm living in a time of inconvenience
At an inconvenient time

I've turned my cheek as my history fades
As 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 it's day

Yes, I'm living in a time of inconvenience
At an inconvenient time

Living in the age of greed and power
Where everyone seems to need
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

'Cause they're living in our
Time of inconvenience
Living in our age of communication
Lost in at time of greed and power
They're living in a time that
I wish was not mine
It's an inconvenient time

I wish wasn't mine such an inconvenient time
