| Lyrics:Ub40 Music:Ub40 | |
| Chorus | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| Chorus | |
| I am the one in ten .... etc | |
| 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 | |
| Chorus | |
| I am the one in ten .... etc | |
| 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. | |
| Chorus | |
| I am the one in ten .... etc |
