Spinning Lies and Tall Tales

traditional nostalgic country American swing, trumpets

Chorus:
Wind turbines, wind turbines, oh, they're reaching for the sky,
Standing tall and spinning ‘round, gonna make us all cry.
Government's got pockets deep, and we’re left high and dry,
With thousands of these monsters, can't you hear the people sigh?

Verse 2:
The government’s a-laughin' as they line their pockets deep,
They tell us it's for energy, but we know it’s just a heap.
Of lies and empty promises, corruption’s running wild,
While our lands are getting ruined, and we’re left to reconcile.

Bridge:
From St. John’s to Corner Brook, and up the Northern Shore,
They’re planting these behemoths, and soon there’ll be no more,
Of the beauty that we cherish, the land we hold so dear,
All sacrificed for money, it's enough to bring a tear.

Verse 3:
So raise a glass, my buddies, and let’s toast to better days,
When government’s not crooked, and they find some honest ways.
To build a brighter future, without these spinning woes,
Here’s to our Newfoundland, and the winds that freely blow.

Outro:
So let’s all stand together, and fight for what is right,
For Newfoundland and Labrador, we’ll hold on with all our might.
No more turbines, no more lies, it’s time to make a change,
For the love of our sweet island, let’s turn a brand new page.

Verse 1: Oh, gather 'round, my friends, and let me tell ya a tale, About our little island and a project set to fail. They’re planting big ol' turbines, taller than the trees, All across Newfoundland, they’re gonna catch the breeze. Chorus: Wind turbines, wind turbines, oh, they're reaching for the sky, Standing tall and spinning ‘round, gonna make us all cry. Government's got pockets deep, and we’re left high and dry, With thousands of these monsters, can't you hear the people sigh? Verse 2: The government’s a-laughin' as they line their pockets deep, They tell us it's for energy, but we know it’s just a heap. Of lies and empty promises, corruption’s running wild, While our lands are getting ruined, and we’re left to reconcile. Chorus: Wind turbines, wind turbines, oh, they're reaching for the sky, Standing tall and spinning ‘round, gonna make us all cry. Government's got pockets deep, and we’re left high and dry, With thousands of these monsters, can't you hear the people sigh? Bridge: From St. John’s to Corner Brook, and up the Northern Shore, They’re planting these behemoths, and soon there’ll be no more, Of the beauty that we cherish, the land we hold so dear, All sacrificed for money, it's enough to bring a tear.
