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 I'm always there |
|
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 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 I'm always there |
|
Statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care |
|
I'm the murderer and the victim |
|
The license 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 I'm always there |
|
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 specter |
|
Discovering 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 I'm always there |
|
Statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care |
|
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 I'm always there |
|
Statistical reminder of a world that doesn't care |
