Get Your Rocks Off

Verse 1 Well, they came to the Rock, sayin’ “Green is the way,” With big turbines ready to save the day. But we’re lookin’ around, scratchin’ our heads, Wonderin' how we’ll sleep in our beds! Chorus So get your rocks off, take a good hard hike, We don’t need your turbines; it’s a Newfie strike! We got wind enough when the gales blow in, So pack up your plans and head out again! Verse 2 Now they’re drillin' our hills and choppin' our trees, Sayin' “Don't worry, buys, it’s the birds and the bees!” But when the fog rolls in, we’ll all be blind, Starin' at a turbine that hums all the time. Chorus Get your rocks off, get out of here, This island’s for fishin’ and a cold, cold beer. We don’t need your towers blockin' the sun, So grab yer turbines, and start to run! Verse 3 They’re sayin' it’s progress, oh, it’ll be grand, But there won’t be a bird left to land. They’ll all be gone with the sight and the sound, With turbines choppin’ our sky to the ground! Bridge We got salt in our veins and cliffs to the sea, Who needs a machine to block the breeze? It’s hard enough here with the weather at best, Without those blades spinnin' right out of our chests! Chorus So get your rocks off, don’t be sly, We know your kind, don’t even try. We got wit, we got charm, and a spirit to fight, So take yer turbines and call it a night! Verse 4 Now, we’re not sayin' we’re against all green, But don’t destroy the land we’ve seen. Our cliffs and coves, they’re ours to keep, Not for a CEO’s promise cheap! Chorus Get your rocks off, pack up and go, We don’t need turbines makin' a show. We got beauty and peace right here on our own, So let Newfoundland be, and leave her alone! Outro So take yer rocks, take yer steel, take yer plans, There’s no room here for executive brands. We’ll keep our shores, wild, free, and clear, So get your rocks off, don’t come back here!
