Lyrics:Ub40 Music:Ub40 | |
Chorus | |
I am the one in ten | |
A number on a list | |
I am the one in ten | |
Even though I don't exist | |
Nobody knows me | |
Even though I'm always there | |
A statistic, a reminder | |
Of a world that doesn't care | |
My arms enfold the dole queue | |
Malnutrition dulls my hair | |
My eyes are black and lifeless | |
With an underprivileged stare | |
I'm the beggar on the corner | |
Will no-one spare a dime? | |
I'm the child that never learns to read | |
'Cause no-one spared the time | |
Chorus | |
I am the one in ten .... etc | |
I'm the murderer and the victim | |
The licence with the gun | |
I'm a sad and bruised old lady | |
In an ally in a slum | |
I'm a middle aged businessman | |
With chronic heart disease | |
I'm another teenaged suicide | |
In a street that has no trees | |
Chorus | |
I am the one in ten .... etc | |
I'm a starving third world mother | |
A refugee without a home | |
I'm a house wife hooked on valium | |
I'm a Pensioner alone | |
I'm a cancer ridden spectre | |
Covering the earth | |
I'm another hungry baby | |
I'm an accident of birth. | |
Chorus | |
I am the one in ten .... etc |
