Well we're living here in Allentown[00:00:19]
And they're closing all the factories down[00:00:23]
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time[00:00:27]
Filling out forms[00:00:31]
Standing in line[00:00:32]
Well our fathers fought the Second World War[00:00:36]
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore[00:00:40]
Met our mothers in the USO[00:00:44]
Asked them to dance[00:00:48]
Danced with them slow[00:00:50]
And we're living here in Allentown[00:00:52]
But the restlessness was handed down[00:00:57]
And it's getting very hard to stay[00:01:01]
Well we're waiting here in Allentown[00:01:20]
For the Pennsylvania we never found[00:01:24]
For the promises our teachers gave[00:01:28]
If we worked hard[00:01:32]
If we behaved[00:01:34]
So the graduations hang on the wall[00:01:37]
But they never really helped us at all[00:01:41]
No they never taught us what was real[00:01:45]
Iron and coke[00:01:49]
And chromium steel[00:01:51]
And we're waiting here in Allentown[00:01:54]
But they've taken all the coal from the ground[00:01:58]
And the union people crawled away[00:02:02]
Every child had a pretty good shot[00:02:16]
To get at least as far as their old man got[00:02:20]
But something happened on the way to that place[00:02:24]
They threw an American flag in our face[00:02:28]
Well living here in AllentownI'm[00:02:43]
And it's hard to keep a good man down[00:02:48]
But I won't be getting up today[00:02:52]
And it's getting very hard to stay[00:03:28]
And we're living here in Allentown[00:03:35]
