One in Ten Lyrics
Play "One in Ten"
on Amazon Music
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...

It is about unemployment. When the song was recorded one in ten people were out of work.
Also a UB40 was a card given out to people who were registered as unemployed.
