Alpha Boy School - One in Ten video free download

Sehr gut gelungenes UB40-Cover von dem Album "Perfect Situation" (VÖ:01.08.2008)

Ich wollte das Lied nicht von dem Lied, das zuvor läuft ("Woyzeck"), trennen, da sonst der gute Übergang verloren gegangen wäre ;).

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 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 statistical reminder

Of a world that doesn`t care

I`m the murderer and the victim

I'm 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 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

Discovering 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
