The 1919 song "How 'Ya Gonna Keep "em Down on the Farm" (Lewis, Young and Donaldson) posed a similar question. Many, if not most of the WWI doughboys were unsophisticated, barely educated young men with a farming background. They had "seen the elephant", "faced the Hun" and "Seen Paree". They weren't going to go back to the status quo, they wanted more, and they got it with the "Roaring 20's" and the excesses that led to the Wall Street crash, the depression and the Bonus March. The US would never be the same.
