| [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 |
