There but for Fortune - Phil Ochs

Show me a prison show me a jail

Show me a prisoner my whose face

Has gone 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 a 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
