Lyrics
Good evening. This is my first evening in Vancouver. I've been to Canada. Toronto a lot. Montreal, where all the extremists live. Show me a prison, show me a jail Show me a prison man whose face is growing 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 thеre but for fortune may go you or I Show me thе 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
