Lyrics One in Five - Youth Brigade

One in Five

I want to make a difference;
I want to see real change
They talk but it’s all hot air — little things get rearranged
Sure I know that they’re basically the same
Careerist playing power games just trying to make a name
We only want what’s best for you — best for you
Trust in us and we’ll get you through — get you through
They say they represent you and me
What kind of majority is 1 in 5?
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
I want to make that difference;
I want to show I care
No matter how I try, I’ve a sinking feeling I’m going nowhere
Call this democracy, it’s a lie
Sure it’s nothing new but we let them screw us all the time
They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best
We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit
The only real change must come from us
Who’s represented by 1 in 5?
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
I want to make that difference, to really truly care
What’s the point of voting when they give us assholes all the time?
And money controls it all
As they say the majority is always on their side
They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best
We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit
The only real change must come from us
Who’s represented by 1 in 5?
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
1 in 5!
They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best
We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit
But the only real change must come from us
Who’s represented by 1 in 5!
