Billy Joel
Allentown

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

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(not coal)
Chromium Steel

And 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
But something happened on the way to that place
They threw an American flag in our face

Well, I'm living here in Allentown
And it's hard to keep a good man down
But I won't be getting up today

And it's getting very hard to stay
And we're living here in Allentown


Mirror lyrics:

And we're living here in Allentown
And it's getting very hard to stay

But I won't be getting up today
And it's hard to keep a good man down
Well, I'm living here in Allentown

They threw an American flag in our face
But something happened on the way to that place
To get at least as far as their old man got
Every child had a pretty good shot

And the union people crawled away
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And we're waiting here in Allentown

Chromium Steel
Iron and coke(not coal)
No they never taught us what was real
But they never really helped us at all
So the graduations hang on the wall

If we behaved
If we worked hard
For the promises our teachers gave
For the Pennsylvania we never found
Well we're waiting here in Allentown

And it's getting very hard to stay
But the restlessness was handed down
And we're living here in Allentown

Danced with them slow
Asked them to dance
Met our mothers in the USO
Spent their weekends on the Jersey shore
Well, our fathers fought the second World War

Standing in line
Filling out forms
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
And they're closing all the factories down
Well, we're living here in Allentown

the test

someone before me

copperhead road

kã¤yã¶s inessiiviin oi

burning the boats

walk softly darling

never too much

fools rush in (where angels fear to tread)

chepe

it's just the beginning

come back again

the falling kind

reset

all over my mind

in the bleak midwinter

si t㺠te vas

out of nowhere

man of constant sorrow

resignation

take me apart
