Bài hát Allentown Báo Lỗi

Well we're living here in Allentown

And they're closing all the factories down

Out in Bethlehem they're killing time

Filling out forms

Standing 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

Danced with them slow

And we're living here in Allentown.


But the restlessness was handed down

And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh.


Well we're waiting here in Allentown

For the Pennsylvania we never found

For the promises our teachers gave

If we worked hard

If we behaved.


So the graduations hang on the wall

But they never really helped us at all

No they never taught us what was real

Iron or coke,

Chromium steel.


And we're waiting here in Allentown.

But they've taken all the coal from the ground

And the union people crawled awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaah.


Every child had a pretty good shot

To get at least as far as their old man got.

If something happened on the way to that place

They threw an American flag in our face, oh oh oh.


Well I'm living here in Allentown

And it's hard to keep a good man down.

But I won't be getting up todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy

aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah.


GUITAR SOLO


aaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaaah oh oh oh.


And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

And we're living here in Allentown.
