[Verse 1]
Show me the prison, show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose face is growing pale
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or go I
You and I

[Verse 2]
Show me the alley, show me the train
And 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 go I
You and I

[Verse 3]
And show me the whiskey, the stains on the floor
And 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 go I
You and I

[Verse 4]
Show me the country whеre bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings oncе so tall
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or go I
You and I
