Lyrics:

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

I listen to these on the MSG+, Great Channel available through Direct TV (The Best from the last survey) Please assist with my updated (In Process) Survey. Just respond if you feel otherwise. Please state why you feel differently. Thanks, Wm. Aviano P.S. If you feel Direct T.V. is tons the best, that is what this concerns. Billy Joel, I find his music to be Cathartic. Keep on Rockin'!

These dumb bastards are laughing and smiling about a song that tells the story of the decline of American middle class.

Great Tama Starclassic tone from the drums. Good job Chuck, nicely done, total professional, fantastic song and well done to all, wish I was there., I personally hate all the nit-picking negative comments, lots of little people always have to pick
