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 so many reasons why
There but for fortune,
go you or go I

Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door
And I’ll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I

Show me a country where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings so tall
And I’ll show you a young land
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
You or I
