Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closin' all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Fillin' out forms, standin' in line Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers at the USO Asked them to dance and danced with them slow Yeah we're livin' here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it's gettin' very hard to stay Well we're waitin' here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard or if we behaved So our graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real Iron and coal and chromium steel Well we're waitin' here in Allentown But they've taken all the Coal from the ground And the union people crawled away Well he's a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But somethin' happened on the Way to that place They threw an American flag in our face Well we're livin' here in Allentown And it's hard to keep a good man down But I won't be givin' up today It was gettin' very hard to stay yeah And we're livin' here in Allentown Livin' here in Allentown yeah oh yeah Oh yeah Allentown yeah hard to stay And we're livin' here in Allentown
