One In Ten (Live) - UB40
Written by：UB40
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 no one 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
