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
