"Nine Out Of Ten" lyrics

"Nine Out Of Ten"

The company, supplied
The company, supplied
Nine out of ten they gave me
Nine out of ten
Nine out of ten they gave me
Nine out of ten

And, come and listen to my story
From when I started

I was in an orphan home, since I was one
I was an orphan baby, all along
And when I was they gave me
One out of, one out of ten

Then I was older
I was older
Made a home when I started
Nobody cared
If I was a baby, dead or alive

Nine out of ten
The company supplied, they said

Too dark baby
Try and understand
You don't break rules you don't, follow them
Sub-lingual
Five out of ten
Nine out of ten they gave me, nine out of ten
