Wind Turbines Are Beautiful, Not!!

(Verse 1)
They say wind turbines are a sight to see,
Spinnin’ ‘round, lookin’ pretty, free as can be,
But I look out me window and all I see,
A big ol’ beast blockin’ out the sea.

They promised us green, they promised us gold,
Now all I got is wind and a heart that's cold,
They're tearin’ up the land, oh, don’t you know?
Call that beautiful? I say it’s a show!

(Chorus)
Wind turbines are beautiful, not!!
Ruinin' the view with every lot,
They’re tall and white but ugly as sin,
Blowin’ away the peace we had within.
They promised us jobs and free energy too,
But all we got is a sky askew,
Wind turbines are beautiful, not!!
Newfie land's gettin’ wrecked, and they don’t give a thought.

(Verse 2)
I used to see whales, puffins by the shore,
Now there’s concrete, steel, what a bore!
They said it’s progress, I’m not so sure,
Feels like they’re sellin’ out what’s pure.

They say it’s green energy, all nice and neat,
But the trees are gone, and I’m feelin’ the heat,
Them turbines hummin’ all night long,
Tell me again how that’s a sweet ol' song?

(Bridge)
They’re standin’ like giants, castin’ a shade,
But nobody here’s gonna join that parade,
They can spin and they can hum all day,
But to us, they’re just blowin’ our land away.

(Outro)
So here’s to the turbines, may they spin and rot,
‘Cause they’re “beautiful,” sure… but really, they’re not!
