Testo One In Ten - UB40
Testo della canzone One In Ten (UB40), tratta dall'album Present Arms
(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 statistic, a 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 '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
A statistic, a 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 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 statistic, a reminder of a world that doesn't care
I'm a starving third world mother, a refugee without a home
I'm a housewife hooked on Valium, I'm a Pensioner alone
I'm a cancer ridden specter, 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 statistic, a 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 statistic, a reminder of a world that doesn't care
