Song Lyrics
I m a starving third world mother, a reminder of a world that doesn t care
My arms enfold the dole queue, i m a starving third world mother, i m the beggar on the corner
i am a one in ten
In a street that has no trees, i m a cancer ridden spectre, i m a house wife hooked on valium
Nobody knows me, covering the earth, i m a sad and bruised old lady
But im always there, i am a one in ten
covering the earth
Malnutrition dulls my hair, because no one spared the time
Nobody knows me, i am a one in ten even though i don t exist, i am a one in ten a number on a list
But im always there, i am a one in ten even though i don t exist
I m the child that never learns to read, a refugee without a home
A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn t care, but im always there, i am a one in ten even though i don t exist
Nobody knows me, i am a one in ten
A statistic a reminder of a world that doesn t care, with an underprivileged stare
covering the earth
with chronic heart disease
But im always there, covering the earth In, i am a one in ten a number on a list
Nobody knows me, i m an accident of birth, i m the child that never learns to read
The licence with the gun, a reminder of a world that doesn t care, i m a cancer ridden spectre
I m the murderer and the victim, i m the child that never learns to read, a refugee without a home
i m a sad and bruised old lady
in an ally in a slum
The licence with the gun, i m a pensioner alone UB40, i am a one in ten
My arms enfold the dole queue, i am a one in ten a number on a list
the licence with the gun
a reminder of a world that doesn t care
Because no one spared the time, i am a one in ten even though i don t exist Ten, but im always there
I am a one in ten, i m the child that never learns to read, i m a sad and bruised old lady
Even though i don t exist, i m the murderer and the victim
But im always there, i m another hungry baby
My arms enfold the dole queue, i m the murderer and the victim
covering the earth
