Lyrics:

Show me the prison, show me the jail

Show me the prisoner whose 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 whiskey 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 the bombs had to fall

Show me the ruins of the buildings once so tall
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you and I
You and I
