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,And 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…
