One In Five Lyrics by Rule 22

Soundtrack to the End of the World

2006

Maria Cries
Fights to survive
Works three jobs with no health care provided

Ten hour days
Minimum wage
Takes its toll on a poor single mother

The pressure builds
So do the bills
First of the month and the check-book is empty

Her children sleep
On thrift store sheets
Makes too much for aid, too little to live on

A fair world: she'll never see it (woah oh oh)
And a fair world: she'll never know (woah oh oh)
The cold will creep
In with the night (woah oh oh) as the poor heart begins to die

Her sad life
The bus ride
Sound of the traffic the tastе of depression

No refugе
She's been used
All of this life but this time she will pray for death

A fair world: she'll never see it (woah oh oh)
And a fair world: she'll never know (woah oh oh)
The cold will creep
In with the night (woah oh oh) as the poor heart begins to die

(Yeah!)

A blood kiss
Touches her lips
She exhales and smiles before she dies
