One in Five - Youth Brigade

I want to make a difference;

I want to see real change

They talk but it’s all hot air — little things get rearranged

Sure I know that they’re basically the same

Careerist playing power games just trying to make a name

We only want what’s best for you — best for you

Trust in us and we’ll get you through — get you through

They say they represent you and me

What kind of majority is 1 in 5?

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

I want to make that difference;

I want to show I care

No matter how I try, I’ve a sinking feeling I’m going nowhere

Call this democracy, it’s a lie

Sure it’s nothing new but we let them screw us all the time

They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best

We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit

The only real change must come from us

Who’s represented by 1 in 5?

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

I want to make that difference, to really truly care

What’s the point of voting when they give us assholes all the time?

And money controls it all

As they say the majority is always on their side

They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best

We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit

The only real change must come from us

Who’s represented by 1 in 5?

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

1 in 5!

They keep telling us they know what’s best — know what’s best

We’re too disgusted to give a shit — give a shit

But the only real change must come from us

Who’s represented by 1 in 5!
