UB40 - One In Ten
Author: Ali Campbell, Brian Travers, Earl Falconer, Jim Brown, Michael Virtue, Norman Hassan & Robin Ca
| 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 |
| Bridge: |
| x4 |
| Ending: x8 |
