Allentown - Live at Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY - June 1990

Shh, ooh, ha
 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 in 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 stay
 ♪
 Ooh-oh-ho (shh, ooh, ha)
 
 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 and coke, chromium steel
 Well, we're waiting here in Allentown
 But they've taken all the coal from the ground
 And the union people crawled away
 ♪
 Every child had a pretty good shot
 To get at least as far as their old man got
 Something happened on the way to that place
 They threw an American flag in our face
 Ooh-oh-ho (shh, ooh, ha)
 ♪
 Well, we're living here in Allentown
 And it's hard to keep a good man down
 But I won't be getting up today
 ♪
 Hey, ooh-oh-ho (shh, ooh, ha)
 And it's getting very hard to stay
 Well, we're living here in Allentown
