With fear in the air and uncertainty abound
Layoffs are common across the whole town
Time and time again it's been seen

When workers are left without a voice and without choice
Where compassion and support are absent with no other way to rejoice
The American worker remains resilient and strong
In the face of a crisis and when job losses go long
