Show me a prison, show me a jail Show me a prisoner, man, whose face is growin' pale And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why And there but for fortune, may go you or I
Show me an alley, show me a train Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why And there but for fortune, may go you or I
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor Show me a drunken man as he stumbles out the door And I'll show you a young man with many reasons why And there but for fortune, may 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 And there but for fortune, may go you or I, or I
