EAGLES
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island
2
Where the old world shadows hang heavy in the air
3
She packed her hopes and dreams like a refugee
4
Just as her father came across the sea
5
She heard about a place, people were smilin'
6
They spoke about the red man's way, how they loved the land
7
And they came from everywhere to the Great Divide
8
Seeking a place to stand or a place to hide
9
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time
10
Can't wait to tell you all what it's like up there
11
And they called it paradise, I don't know why
12
Somebody laid the mountains low while the town got high
13
Then the chilly winds blew down, across the desert
14
Through the canyons of the coast to the Malibu
15
Where the pretty people play, hungry for power
16
To light their neon way and give them things to do
17
Some rich men came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em
18
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and Jesus, people bought 'em
19
And they called it paradise, the place to be
20
They watched the hazy sun sinking in the sea
21
You can leave it all behind and sail to Lahaina
22
Just like the missionaries did so many years ago
23
They even brought a neon sign 'Jesus is coming'
24
Brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign
25
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
26
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
27
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
28
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
29
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
30
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
31
They called it paradise, I don't know why
32
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
