1
[Chorus]
2
I am the one in ten
3
A number on a list
4
I am the one in ten
5
Even though I don't exist
6
Nobody Knows me
7
But I'm always there
8
A statistical reminder
9
Of a world that doesn't care
10
My arms enfold the dole queue
11
Malnutrition dulls my hair
12
My eyes are black and lifeless
13
With an underprivileged stare
14
I'm the beggar on the corner
15
Will no-one spare a dime?
16
I'm the child that never learns to read
17
'Cause no-one spared the time
18
[Chorus]
19
I'm the murderer and the victim
20
The license with the gun
21
I'm a sad and bruised old lady
22
In an ally in a slum
23
I'm a middle aged businessman
24
With chronic heart disease
25
I'm another teenaged suicide
26
In a street that has no trees
27
[Chorus]
28
I'm a starving third world mother
29
A refugee without a home
30
I'm a house wife hooked on Valium
31
I'm a Pensioner alone
32
I'm a cancer ridden specter
33
Discovering the earth
34
I'm another hungry baby
35
I'm an accident of birth.
36
[Chorus]
