The Rebel Black Dot Labor Song o' the Day

Billy Joel, "Allentown" from The Nylon Curtain (Mike Papa Whiskey)

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

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

"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…"
