《Allentown》歌词

时长： 03:53

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]
