The Last Resort
The Eagles

She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island

Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air

She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee,

Just as her father came across the sea

She heard about a place people were smilin',

They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land

And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars out for a good time,

Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there

And they called it paradise, I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high

Then the chilly winds blew down across the desert,

Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu

Where the pretty people play hungry for power

To light their neon way and give them things to do

Some rich man came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and, Jesus, people bought 'em

And they called it paradise, the place to be,

They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea

You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina

Just like the missionaries did so many years ago

They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is Coming',

Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?

'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here

We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny and in the name of God

And you can see them there on Sunday morning

Stand up and sing about what it's like up there

They called it paradise, I don't know why

You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
