[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
