The last Resort

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 smiling Spoke about the red man's ways How they loved the land 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 They called it paradise I don't know why Somebody laid the mountains low While the town got high When the chilly winds blew down Across the dessert Through the canyons of the coast To the malibus Where the pretty people played Hungry for power To light their neon ways Give 'em things to do Some rich man came and raped the land Nobody caught him Put up a bunch of ugly boxes And Jesus people bought them They called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun Sinking in the sea We can leave it all behind 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 And we'll provide the grand design What is yours and what is mine 'Cuz there is no more new frontier We have got to make it here We satisfied our endlees needs And justified 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 To call someplace paradise Kiss it goodbye

La chanson évoque le parcours d'une femme originaire de Providence qui fuit son passé, remplie d'espoir et de rêves, pour rejoindre une terre promise. Elle découvre un endroit où les gens semblent heureux et où l'on parle des manières traditionnelles des Autochtones, mais elle réalise rapidement que ce qui était présenté comme un paradis cache une réalité bien différente. Les ambitions humaines, souvent matérialistes, ont transformé cette terre en un lieu de consommation et d'exploitation, dévastant les paysages et ignorant les leçons du passé. Le contexte se situe dans une réflexion critique sur le rêve américain et son impact sur l'environnement et les cultures indigènes. Les promesses de prospérité sont confrontées aux conséquences de l'avidité et à la désillusion qui en découle, soulignant une dichotomie entre l'idéal et la réalité. L’artiste aborde aussi la manière dont la spiritualité est souvent instrumentalisée pour justifier des actions violentes, posant des questions sur la moralité de nos désirs et ambitions.
