Carolina rocks, so it’s time to rock the vote We’re all in this together in the same big boat We can do better so let’s turn this ship around We won’t turn our heads or look the other way We’ll all raise our voices so they’ll hear us say Carolina rocks, so it’s time to rock the vote! Now it’s not just, the way our teachers trust is being broken They give every day in return for lousy pay, it’s true But now we realize, yeah we’re really getting wise and have awoken It’s time to value education, and we’ve got some work to do. Teachers rock, so it’s time to rock the vote We’re all in this together in the same big boat We can do better so let’s turn this ship around We won’t turn our heads or look the other way We’ll all raise our voices so they’ll hear us say Carolina rocks, so it’s time to rock the vote! Bridge: From the mountains to the sea, It’s time to raise each voice If you don’t like what you see You can make another choice We won’t be sad and blue Or stick heads in the sand It’s up to me and you We’re gonna take a stand! Well, we all know natural places we can go, all around us We like our rivers clean and our mountains green, it’s true They better not deploy any laws that destroy what surrounds us Theyre messing with our future, and we’ve got some work to do. Nature rocks, so it’s time to rock the vote We’re all in this together in the same big boat We can do better so let’s turn this ship around We won’t turn our heads or look the other way We’ll all raise our voices so they’ll hear us say Nature rocks, so it’s time to rock the vote! And Teachers rock , so it’s time to rock the vote Carolina rocks so it’s time to rock the vote!
