Commentary:
"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…
"And we're living here in Allentown,
But the restlessness was handed down,
And it's getting very hard to stay…
"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.
"And we're waiting here in Allentown,
But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away…"
