| [00:19.01] |
Well we're living here in Allentown |
| [00:23.06] |
And they're closing all the factories down |
| [00:26.82] |
|
| [00:27.53] |
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time |
| [00:31.28] |
Filling out forms |
| [00:32.78] |
Standing in line |
| [00:36.04] |
Well our fathers fought the Second World War |
| [00:40.07] |
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore |
| [00:44.39] |
Met our mothers in the USO |
| [00:48.02] |
Asked them to dance |
| [00:50.22] |
Danced with them slow |
| [00:52.98] |
And we're living here in Allentown |
| [00:56.50] |
|
| [00:57.06] |
But the restlessness was handed down |
| [01:01.27] |
And it's getting very hard to stay |
| [01:09.92] |
|
| [01:20.54] |
Well we're waiting here in Allentown |
| [01:24.59] |
For the Pennsylvania we never found |
| [01:28.95] |
For the promises our teachers gave |
| [01:32.81] |
If we worked hard |
| [01:34.76] |
If we behaved |
| [01:37.21] |
So the graduations hang on the wall |
| [01:41.34] |
But they never really helped us at all |
| [01:45.93] |
No they never taught us what was real |
| [01:49.61] |
Iron and coke |
| [01:51.48] |
And chromium steel |
| [01:54.17] |
And we're waiting here in Allentown |
| [01:57.74] |
|
| [01:58.82] |
But they've taken all the coal from the ground |
| [02:02.70] |
And the union people crawled away |
| [02:11.17] |
|
| [02:16.76] |
Every child had a pretty good shot |
| [02:20.70] |
To get at least as far as their old man got |
| [02:24.77] |
But something happened on the way to that place |
| [02:28.72] |
They threw an American flag in our face |
| [02:38.27] |
|
| [02:43.85] |
Well living here in AllentownI'm |
| [02:48.08] |
And it's hard to keep a good man down |
| [02:52.20] |
But I won't be getting up today |
| [03:00.73] |
|
| [03:28.58] |
And it's getting very hard to stay |
| [03:32.65] |
|
| [03:35.05] |
And we're living here in Allentown |
