[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
