One In Ten (Live) - UB40[00:00:00]
Written by:UB40[00:00:02]
I am the one in ten[00:00:30]
A number on a list[00:00:32]
I am the one in ten[00:00:34]
Even though I don`t exist[00:00:36]
Nobody knows me[00:00:38]
But I`m always there[00:00:40]
A statistical reminder[00:00:42]
Of a world that doesn`t care[00:00:44]
My arms enfold the dole queue[00:01:00]
Malnutrition dulls my hair[00:01:01]
My eyes are black and lifeless[00:01:03]
With an underprivileged stare[00:01:05]
I`m the beggar on the corner[00:01:07]
Will no one spare a dime[00:01:09]
I`m the child that never learned to read[00:01:11]
`Cause no one spared the time[00:01:14]
I am the one in ten[00:01:15]
A number on a list[00:01:17]
I am the one in ten[00:01:19]
Even though I don`t exist[00:01:20]
Nobody knows me[00:01:23]
But I`m always there[00:01:25]
Statistical a reminder[00:01:26]
Of a world that doesn`t care[00:01:28]
I`m the murderer and the victim[00:01:44]
And I'm licenced with the gun[00:01:46]
I`m a sad and bruised old lady[00:01:47]
In an alley in a slum[00:01:49]
I`m a middle aged businessman[00:01:51]
With chronic heart disease[00:01:53]
I`m another teenaged suicide[00:01:55]
In a street that has no trees[00:01:58]
I am the one in ten[00:01:59]
A number on a list[00:02:01]
I am the one in ten[00:02:03]
Even though I don`t exist[00:02:05]
Nobody knows me[00:02:07]
But I`m always there[00:02:09]
A statistical reminder[00:02:11]
Of a world that doesn`t care[00:02:12]
I`m a starving[00:02:29]
Third world mother[00:02:29]
A refugee without a home[00:02:30]
I`m a house wife hooked on valium[00:02:32]
I`m a pensioner alone[00:02:34]
I`m a cancer ridden spectre[00:02:36]
That's covering the Earth[00:02:37]
I`m another hungry baby[00:02:39]
I`m an accident of birth[00:02:41]
I am the one in ten[00:02:44]
A number on a list[00:02:45]
I am the one in ten[00:02:47]
Even though I don`t exist[00:02:49]
Nobody knows me[00:02:52]
But I`m always there[00:02:53]
A statistical reminder[00:02:55]
Of a world that doesn`t care[00:02:57]
I am the one in ten[00:03:13]
A number on a list[00:03:15]
I am the one in ten[00:03:17]
Even though I don`t exist[00:03:19]
Nobody knows me[00:03:21]
But I`m always there[00:03:23]
A statistical reminder[00:03:25]
Of a world that doesn`t care[00:03:27]
