[Verse 1]
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 so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, ooh

[Verse 2]
Show me the alley
Show me the train
Show me the hobo
Who sleeps out in the rain

[Chorus]
And I'll show you the young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I, ooh

[Verse 3]
Show me the whiskey
Stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard
As he stumbles out the door
[Chorus]
And I'll show you the young man
With some many reasons why
There but for fortune
Go you or I

[Verse 4]
Show me the country
Where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins
Of the buildings once so tall

[Chorus]
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
