Which lines from the song, “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” conveys the image of veterans who are unable to find work?
Answer
A
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?
B
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?
C
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell, Full of that Yankee Doodle-de-dum, Half a million boots went sloggin’ through Hell, I was the kid with the drum.
D
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al— It was Al all the time. Why don't you remember, I'm your pal— Buddy, can you spare a dime?
