Show me the prison
|
Show me the jail
|
Show me the prisoner
|
Whose life has gone stale
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And I'll show you the young man
|
With some 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Show me the whiskey
|
Stains on the floor
|
Show me the drunkard
|
As he stumbles out the door
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Show me the country
|
Where the bombs had to fall
|
Show me the ruins
|
Of the buildings once so tall
|
|
I'll show you the young land
|
With some many reasons why
|
There but for fortune
|
Go you and I
|
You and I
|
You and I
|
|

There But For Fortune
