There But for Fortune Françoise Hardy

[Verse 1]
Show me the prison
Show me the jail
Show me the prisoner who's 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 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

[Verse 4]
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 man
With so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you and I
Go you and I
