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, but I`m always there A statistical 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
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, but I`m always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn`t care
I`m the murderer the victim Im unlicenced with a 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 teenage suicide In a street that has no trees
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, but I`m always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn`t care
I`m a starving third world mother Refugee without a home I`m a house wife hooked on Valium I`m a Pensioner alone I`m a cancer ridden spectre Thats covering the air I`m another hungry baby I`m an accident of birth.
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, but I`m always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn`t care
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, but I`m always there A statistical reminder of a world that doesn`t care
