One In Ten |
| I am a one in ten, a number on a list |
| I am a one in ten, even though i don’t exist |
| Nobody knows me, but im always there |
| A statistic, a 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 |
| Because no one spared the time |
| I am a one in ten a number on a list |
| I am a one in ten even though i don’t exist |
| Nobody knows me, but im always there |
| A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn’t care |
| I’m the murderer and the victim |
| The licence 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 a one in ten a number on a list |
| I am a one in ten even though i don’t exist |
| Nobody knows me, but im always there |
| A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn’t care |
| 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 spectre |
| Covering the earth |
| I’m another hungry baby |
| I’m an accident of birth |
| I am a one in ten a number on a list |
| I am a one in ten even though i don’t exist |
| Nobody knows me, but im always there |
| A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn’t care |
