    The song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?" describes the difficulties of the Great Depression from the perspective of a man reminiscing about his past successes and current struggles. In the past, he "built a railroad" and "built a tower," but now finds himself unemployed and asking others for spare change, repeating the refrain "Brother, can you spare a dime?" throughout the song. The lyrics capture the hardship of the times through the man's recollections and current plea for money as he faces unemployment.
