Explanation:

The song "Brother, Can You Spare a Dime" relates several aspects of the Great Depression and all the suffering it caused. In this particular excerpt, the speaker talks of having built a tower made of "Brick, and rivet, and lime". The tower seems solid, trustworthy. Yet, "now it's done-". The tower refers to the stock market, which crashed in 1929 and condemned many seemingly rich people to poverty. Their wealth was not solid after all. The tower crumbled to the ground and they were left with nothing.
