Something to reflect upon, lyrics from The Last Resort (The Eagles) 1976

Some rich men came and raped the land, Nobody caught 'em Put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus people bought 'em 'nd they called it paradise The place to be They watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea In a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone, Henley said: "The Last Resort, on Hotel California, is still one of my favorite songs... That's because I care more about the environment than about writing songs about drugs or love affairs or excesses of any kind. The gist of the song was that when we find something good, we destroy it by our presence - by the very fact that man is the only animal on earth that is capable of destroying his environment. The environment is the reason I got into politics: to try to do something about what I saw as the complete destruction of most of the resources that we have left. We have mortgaged our future for gain and greed."
