| Lyrics |
(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
