Show me the prison, show me the jail Show me the prisoner who's life has gone stale And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the alley, show me the train Show me the hobo who sleeps out in the rain And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the whisky stains on the floor Show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the country where bombs had to fall Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why There but for fortune, go you and I, go you and I.
