There But For Fortune Songtext / Lyric

Show me a prison, show me a jail,
show me the prisoner who's face has gone to stale. And I'll show you a young man,
with so many reasons why.
And there but for fortune,
may go you and I, mmh mmh mmh. 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.
And there but for fortune,
may go you and I, mmh mmh mmh.

Show me the whiskey, that stains on the floor,
show me the drunken man as he stumbled out the door.

And I'll show you a young man,
with so many reasons why.
And there but for fortune,
may go you and I, mmh mmh mmh.

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 an I, mmh mmh mmh.
