| [00:18.76] |
Well we're living here in Allentown |
| [00:23.07] |
And they're closing all the factories down |
| [00:27.14] |
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time |
| [00:31.07] |
Filling out forms |
| [00:32.89] |
Standing in line |
| [00:35.89] |
Well our fathers fought the Second World War |
| [00:39.77] |
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore |
| [00:44.08] |
Met our mothers in the USO |
| [00:47.89] |
Asked them to dance |
| [00:49.95] |
Danced with them slow |
| [00:52.90] |
And we're living here in Allentown |
| [00:56.96] |
But the restlessness was handed down |
| [01:01.20] |
And it's getting very hard to stay |
| [01:12.14] |
|
| [01:13.83] |
Well we're waiting here in Allentown |
| [01:24.33] |
For the Pennsylvania we never found |
| [01:28.33] |
For the promises our teachers gave |
| [01:32.39] |
If we worked hard |
| [01:34.21] |
If we behaved |
| [01:36.77] |
So the graduations hang on the wall |
| [01:40.96] |
But they never really helped us at all |
| [01:44.96] |
No they never taught us what was real |
| [01:48.95] |
Iron and coke |
| [01:50.76] |
And chromium steel |
| [01:53.83] |
And we're waiting here in Allentown |
| [01:58.40] |
But they've taken all the coal from the ground |
| [02:02.14] |
And the union people crawled away |
| [02:16.39] |
Every child had a pretty good shot |
| [02:20.02] |
To get at least as far as their old man got |
| [02:24.28] |
But something happened on the way to that place |
| [02:28.41] |
They threw an American flag in our face |
| [02:33.66] |
Well living here in AllentownI'm |
| [02:47.74] |
And it's hard to keep a good man down |
| [02:51.68] |
But I won't be getting up today |
| [02:59.86] |
|
| [03:28.24] |
And it's getting very hard to stay |
| [03:34.30] |
And we're living here in Allentown |
