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
