Intro: x4 |
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 |
Bridge: x2 |
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 |
Even though I'm always there |
A statistic, a reminder |
Of a world that doesn't care |
Bridge: x2 |
I'm the murderer and the victim |
The license 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 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 |
Even though I'm always there |
A statistic, a reminder |
Of a world that doesn't care |
Bridge: x2 |
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 specter |
Covering the earth |
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 |
Even though I'm always there |
A statistic, a reminder |
Of a world that doesn't care |
Bridge: x2 |
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 |
