Billy Joel - Allentown Edit

And chromium steel

And it's hard to keep a good man down

And the union people crawled away

And we're living here in allentown

And we're living here in allentown

And we're waiting here in allentown

Asked them to dance

But I won't be getting up today

But something happened on the way to that place

But the restlessness was handed down

But they never really helped us at all

Danced with them slow

Every child had a pretty good shot

For the pennsylvania we never found

For the promises our teachers gave

If we worked hard

Iron and coke

Met our mothers in the uso

No they never taught us what was real

Out in bethlehem they're killing time

Spent their weekends on the jersey shore

Standing in line

To get at least as far as their old man got

Well I'm living here in allentown

Well our fathers fought the second world war

Well we're waiting here in allentown
