Allentown - Billy Joel

Allentown LRC歌词

[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
