"There But For Fortune" lyrics
"There But For Fortune"
(originally by Phil Ochs)
Show me the prison
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner who's life has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
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
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the whiskey
Stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard as he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune, 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 man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you and I
Go you and I
