Prayer of the Refugee is the latest song\single by the band Rise Against. It is the second single of The Sufferer and the Witness. It runs at three minutes and twenty one seconds. The video is about mega stores such as Wal-Mart and Costco that use foreign labor to obtain their goods. The video goes from scenes of the band playing and walking around in a warehouse to scenes of young children and foreign people making goods including shoes, bananas, and remote controlled cars. It ends with scenes of the foreign peoples placing Made In USA and American flag labels on packaged boxes, and the band members (except for the drummer) toppling various shelves containing such goods, the broken and fallen goods spelling out "FAIR TRADE", and the video ending in an abrupt change to a black screen.
An acoustic version of this song was preformed live on the CJZN Radio station in Victoria, British Columbia On January 18, 2007 on Before a Billy Talent Concert featuring them and Anti-Flag and Moneen.
