There But for Fortune (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)
Phil Ochs
[Verse 1]
Show me the prison, show me the jail
Show me the prisoner whose life has gone stale
And I'll show you a young man with so many reasons why
There but for fortune go you or I
[Verse 2]
Show me the alley, show me the train
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 I
[Verse 3]
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me the drunkard man 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 I
[Outro]
You or I
Go you or I
