The boss: this plant will soon shut down
If nothings done 'bout the competition
From producers of more attractive products
Cheaper, better, more useful than ours
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the employer
That's what its worth
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the emperor
Getting what he deserves
The kids all wanted to work in our plant
The money's alright, the work's not too hard
Now they'll have to find it elsewhere
A generation lost, no more wonders
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the employer
That's what its worth
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the emperor
Getting what he deserves
Now the boss wants to be our friend
Says we're in this together 'til the end
After spending years holding us back
Too good to even talk to us
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the employer
That's what its worth
Say a prayer, say a prayer
For the emperor
Getting what he deserves
Say a prayer, say a prayer - an open letter was sent to the press
Say a prayer, say a prayer - demanding action against consumers
Say a prayer, say a prayer - saying it was illegal not to buy from us
Say a prayer, say a prayer - to save our jobs and work conditions
