    "The Last Resort" - Eagles (It's one of my favorites)

    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,
    and 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 men 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 the name
    of God

    And you can see them there,
    On Sunday morning
    They stand up and sing about
    what it's like up there
    They call it paradise
    I don't know why
    You call someplace paradise,
    kiss it goodbye...

    I think it's all in your head that they call it paradise. I visited different churches for a while and I never heard the people saying that they were in paradise. They pray for the lot of each to be good, but they are pretty much aware that life demands sacrifice to preserve freedom and democracy. Of course there were many fanatics like the people in Waco, Texas, or Naples, Idaho, or some sects that came from Florida, to establish themselves in Montana, and the Mooneys all over the world, but I got to know most of these peoples,who were a small percentage of exception, and even them, watching Monty Pythom and trying to figure out John's revelation, assigning moral enemies to other peoples of the world, like the Chinese, the Arabs, the casted peoples of India, the Africans, etc., trying to ascertain every fart of John's trumpet, even there, they never saw themselves in so-called "paradise."

    The well went down very deep
    Very deep went down the well
    The well went down so very deep
    Well, the well went down to hell
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Poor Orpheus woke up with a start
    All amongst the rotting dead
    His lyre tacked safe under his arm
    His brains all down his head
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Eurydice appeared brindled in blood
    And she said to Orpheus
    If you play that ****ing thing down here
    I'll stick it up your orifice!
    O Mamma O Mamma

    Once upon a time at home
    I sat beside the telephone
    Waiting for someone to pull me through
    When at last it didn't ring I knew it wasn't you.
