Time of Inconvenience - Nanci Griffith

(It's an inconvenient time)
(It's an inconvenient time)
(It's an inconvenient time)
(It's an inconvenient time)
Were living in a time of inconvenience
Compassion fails me with this meanness in the air
Our 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
Cause I'm living in a time of inconvenience
At an inconvenient time
Were 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 nothing in this land
And here I am one lonely woman
On these mean streets
Where the right to life man has become my enemy
Cause I'm living in his time of inconvenience
At an inconvenient time
I've turned my cheek my history fades
While the clock ticks away
Any progress weve made
I never thought
I'd be ashamed to be human
Afraid to say
My time has seen it's day
Cause I'm living in a time of inconvenience
Living in a time of inconvenience living in a time of inconvenience
It's an inconvenient time
This is the time of greed and power
Where everyone needs to have someone to shove around
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
They're living in the age of communication
This is the time of greed and power
This is the time that I wish was not mine
Cause it's an inconvenient time
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
(It's an inconvenient time) (time oh time)
