letra de brother, can you spare a dime? - joe glazer
[intro]
“now, the next song, this is not your typical political song, but this song had more impact than any ten political songs. and it didn’t do hoover any good, because he was president at the time of the worst depression in the nation’s history, and this song reflected the feelings of millions and millions of jobless men and women.”
[verse 1]
they used to tell me i was building a dream
and so i followed the mob
when there was earth to plow or guns to bear
i was always there, right there on the job
[verse 2]
they used to tell me i was building a dream
with peace and glory ahead
why should i be standing in line
just waiting for bread?
[verse 3]
once i built a railroad, i made it run
i made it race against time
once i built a railroad, now it’s done
brother, can you spare a dime?
[verse 4]
once i built a tower to the sun
brick and rivet and lime
once i built a tower, now it’s done
brother, can you spare a dime?
[verse 5]
once in khaki suits, gee, we looked swell
full of that yankee doodly dum
half a million boots went slogging through h-ll
and i was the kid with the drum
[verse 6]
say, don’t you remember? they called me “al”
it was “al” all the time
say, don’t you remember? i’m your pal
buddy, can you spare a dime?
