, как объяснял Боб Дилан, это то самое время, когда изобрели микрофон и певцы стали перестраиваться под это новое изобретение, вовсю используя его преимущества, главное из которых - возможность не напрягать голос, чтобы слышали последние ряды, но разнообразить палитру интонаций, сделать её более личной, интимной, можно сказать)

, захваченного далеками на самом-то деле))))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?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,
I 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 up 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 Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Say, don't you remember?
They called me 'Al'
It was 'Al' all the time
Why don't you remember?
I'm your pal
Say buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, ah, gee, we looked swell
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell
And I was the kid with the drum
Oh, 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?
