Lyrics
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 that 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 a 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
