In the song brother can i spare a dime by bling crosby what do the song lyrics describe?

"Brother Can You Spare A Dime" reflected the dark and uncertain nature of the national mood during The Great Depression. It's a radical tune for its time with a socialist message. The song's structure shows how the verse was significantly less important than the chorus to the day's songwriters. Crosby moves slowly through the introduction, lingering behind the beat, and his emphasis on the song's chorus refrain makes it memorable. Symbols used include railroad and city laborers, and World War I veterans who worked tirelessly and risked their lives supporting their country. The song's message is simple, detailing the economic and social consequences of the Depression, and overall dissatisfaction with the US Government's response for impoverished Americans.
