Billy Joel "Allentown" paroles

Traduction vers:de

Allentown

Well we're living here in AllentownAnd they're closing all the factories downOut in Bethlehem they're killing timeFilling out forms, standing in line

Well, our fathers fought the second world warSpent their weekends on the Jersey shoreMet our mothers in the USOAsked them to danceDanced with them slow

And we're living here in AllentownBut the restlessness was handed downAnd it's getting very hard to stay

Well we're waiting here in AllentownFor the Pennsylvania we never foundFor the promises our teachers gaveIf we worked hard, if we behaved

So the graduations hang on the wallBut they never really helped us at allNo, they never taught us what was realIron and coke, chromium steel

And we're waiting here in allentownBut they've taken all the coal from the groundAnd the union people crawled away

Every child had a pretty good shotTo get at least as far as their old man gotBut something happened on the way to that placeThey threw an American flag in our face

Well I'm living here in AllentownAnd it's hard to keep a good man downBut I won't be getting up today

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