Brother Can You Spare a Dime - Fourtified Sound

Lyrics:

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 on the job.
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?

Once I built a railroad,
Made it run,
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done.
Brother, can you spare a dime?

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?

Once in khaki suits
Gee, we looked swell;
Full of that Yankee Doodle-de-dum.
Half a million boots went sloggin' thru' Hell,
I was the kid with the drum!

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?
