Текст песни The Last Resort

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 smilling

They spoke about the red mans way

And how they loved the land

And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stay or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for the good time

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

They called it paradise

I dont 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 ways and give them things to do

Some rich men came and raped the land

Nobody caught em Stereophonics - The Last Resort - http://ru.motolyrics.com/stereophonics/the-last-resort-lyrics.html

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

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 mans burden down

Brought the white mans 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 its like up there

They call it paradise

I dont know why

You call some place paradise

Kiss it goodbye
