There but for Fortune (Live Version)

There but for Fortune (Live Version) - Phil Ochs

Written by：Phil Ochs

Show me a prison

Show me a jail

Show me a prisoner

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

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 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 land

With so many reasons why

And there but for fortune

May go you or I or I
