There But For Fortune (Live)
[Intro]
Good evening
This is my first evening in Vancouver
I've been to Canada
Toronto a lot
Montreal, where all the extremists live

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
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

[Verse 4]
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
