One in Ten

Album: UB 40 Greates Hits Durasi: 4:33
[00:00.27]I am the one in ten
[00:32.96]A number on a list
[00:34.86]I am the one in ten
[00:36.70]Even though I don't exist
[00:39.37]Nobody Knows me
[00:41.23]Even though I'm always there
[00:42.20]A statistic, a reminder
[00:44.57]Of a world that doesn't care
[00:48.04]🎵
[01:00.95]My arms enfold the dole queue
[01:02.72]Malnutrition dulls my hair
[01:04.80]My eyes are black and lifeless
[01:06.56]With an underprivileged stare
[01:08.61]I'm the beggar on the corner
[01:10.47]Will no-one spare a dime?
[01:12.31]I'm the child that never learns to read
[01:15.16]Cause no-one spared the time

[01:46.20]I'm the murderer and the victim
[01:48.15]The licence with the gun
[01:50.25]I'm a sad and bruised old lady
[01:52.25]In an ally in a slum
[01:54.05]I'm a middle aged businessman
[01:55.88]With chronic heart disease
[01:57.82]I'm another teenaged suicide
[02:00.52]In a street that has no trees
[02:02.03]I am the one in ten

[02:31.65]I'm a starving third world mother
[02:33.69]A refugee without a home
[02:34.84]I'm a house wife hooked on Valium
[02:37.37]I'm a Pensioner alone
[02:39.37]I'm a cancer ridden spectre
[02:41.25]Covering the earth
