| 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 |
|

| 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 |
