Prayer of the Refugee analysis
This song is performed by Rise Against, the song main meaning is the explotation of foreign or migrant workers in America and for that reason it is considered a protest song for example the lyrics:
We are the angry and the desperate,
The hungry, and the cold,
We are the ones who kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
These lyrics could be considered how the imigrant workers feel.
The video itself shows a differnt meaning however and shows more on american consumerism rather than the songs meaning.
