one in ten

• ub 40 şarkısı.
  
  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
  even though 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`m the murderer and the victim
  the licence 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 teenaged suicide
  in a street that has no trees
  
  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
  covering the earth
  i`m another hungry baby
  i`m an accident of birth.
