作曲:

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 noone spare a dime

I`m the child that never learned 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

Statistical a reminder

Of a world that doesn`t care

I`m the murderer and the victim

And I'm licenced with the gun

I`m a sad and bruised old lady

In an alley in a slum

I`m a middle aged businessman

With chronic heart disease

I`m another teenaged 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

A refugee without a home

I`m a house wife hooked on valium

I`m a pensioner alone

I`m a cancer ridden spectre

That's 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

But I`m always there

A statistical reminder

Of a world that doesn`t care

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
