They pull the reins too tightly
Still working on a Friday night
Getting paid a donkey's wage
Until they hear us cry

And we could all sing together if we try
If we could all sing together we'd be—
The carrot, the carrot, the carrot, the carrot

We need to hold each other
Put aside our differences
Being taken for another ride
More broken promises

And we could all sing together if we try
If we could all sing together we'd be fine
And we could all sing together if we try
Gotta chase the carrot and hate the stick
Tell the whole damn world we're tired of it
We could all get together, imagine a different life
The carrot, the carrot, the carrot, the carrot
The carrot, the carrot, the carrot

Be wide and welcoming
Don't laugh at holding hands
Saddle off and we can hit the road
Toward the promised land (Sing it, dolly)

And we could all sing together if we try
If we could all sing together we'd be fine
And we could all sing together if we try
Gotta chase the carrot and hate the stick
Tell the whole damn world we're tired of it
We can all get together, imagine a different life
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
The carrot, the carrot, the carrot, the carrot
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together if we try
We could all sing together
