Current song lyrics
Well we're living here in Allentown<br />And they're closing all the factories down<br />Out in Bethlehem they're killing time<br />Filling out forms<br />Standing in line<br /><br />Well our fathers fought the Second World War<br />Spent their weekends on the Jersey shore<br />Met our mothers at the USO<br />Asked them to dance<br />Danced with them slow<br />And we're living here in Allentown<br /><br />But the restlessness was handed down<br />And it's getting very hard to stay<br /><br />Well we're waiting here in Allentown<br />For the Pennsylvania we never found<br />For the promises our teachers gave<br />If we worked hard<br />If we behaved<br /><br />So the graduations hang on the wall<br />But they never really helped us at all<br />No they never taught us what was real<br />Iron and coke<br />Chromium steel<br />And we're waiting here in Allentown<br /><br />But they've taken all the coal from the ground<br />And the union people crawled away<br /><br />Every child had a pretty good shot<br />To get at least as far as their old man got<br />Something happened on the way to that place<br />They threw an American flag in our face<br /><br />Well I'm living here in Allentown<br />And it's hard to keep a good man down<br />But I won't be getting up today<br /><br />And it's getting very hard to stay<br />And we're living here in Allentown
