There But For Fortune Lyrics - Live Again! - Phil Ochs

Show me a prison, show me a jail 

Show me a prisoner, man, whose face is growin' 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
