I am the one
A number on a list
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me, but I'm always there
Just a typical reminder of a world that doesn't care
My eyes are full of hope, and mountain tissue adorns my head
My eyes are black and lifeless with an underprivileged slave
I'm the beggar, I'm the loner
Will no one spare a dime?
I'm the child that never learned to read
Because no one spared the time
Oh, I'm a number on a list
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me, but I'm always there
Just a typical reminder of a world that doesn't care
I'm a memory that's among the license with the gun
I'm a sad and bruised old lady in an alley in the sun
I'm a middle-aged business man with chronic heart disease
I'm another teenage suicide on a street that has no trees
I'm a number on a list
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me, but I'm always there
Just a typical reminder of a world that doesn't care
I'm a starting program of a 15 without a home
I'm a housewife picked on by him
I'm a pensioner alone
I'm a cancer-ridden specter that's covering the earth
I'm another hungry baby
I'm an accident of birth
A number on a list
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me, but I'm always there
Just a typical reminder of a world that doesn't care
I am the one, a number on a list
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me, but I'm always there
Just a typical reminder of a world that doesn't care
