[00:01] | Allentown |
[00:04] | Billy Joel |
[00:16][00:09] | |
[00:18] | Well we're living here in Allentown |
[00:22] | And they're closing all the factories down |
[00:27] | Out in Bethlehem they're killing time |
[00:30] | Filling out forms |
[00:32] | Standing in line |
[00:35] | Well our fathers fought the Second World War |
[00:39] | Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore |
[00:43] | Met our mothers at the USO |
[00:47] | Asked them to dance |
[00:49] | Danced with them slow |
[00:52] | And we're living here in Allentown |
[00:55] | |
[00:56] | But the restlessness was handed down |
[01:00] | And it's getting very hard to stay |
[01:16][01:08] | |
[01:19] | Well we're waiting here in Allentown |
[01:23] | For the Pennsylvania we never found |
[01:27] | For the promises our teachers gave |
[01:31] | If we worked hard |
[01:33] | If we behaved |
[01:36] | So the graduations hang on the wall |
[01:40] | But they never really helped us at all |
[01:44] | No they never taught us what was real |
[01:48] | Iron and coke |
[01:50] | And chromium steel |
[02:10][01:56] | |
[01:53] | And we're waiting here in Allentown |
[01:57] | But they've taken all the coal from the ground |
[02:01] | And the union people crawled away |
[02:15] | Every child has a pretty good shot |
[02:19] | To get at least as far as their old man got |
[02:23] | But something happened on the way to that place |
[02:27] | They threw an American flag in our place |
[02:39][02:33] | |
[02:42] | Well I'm living here in Allentown |
[02:46] | And it's hard to keep a good man down |
[02:51] | But I won't be getting up today |
[03:23][03:11][03:04][02:59] | |
[03:27] | And it's getting very hard to stay |
[03:33] | And we're living here in Allentown |
