Eagles: Last Resort (interpretation??)

[Walleye]

Eagles - The Last Resort

She came from Providence,
the one in Rhode Island
Where the old world shadows hand
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 simlin'
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 satifsy 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 Suday morning
They stand up and sing about
What its like up there
They call it paradise
I dont know why
You call someplace paradise
And kiss it goodbye

i love this song, but i'm not exactly sure how to interpret it. anyone wanna take a st@b at it?

no, its the spread of multinationalistic corporations that want nothing but money and power.

I thought that said: "Eagles last resort: impregnation" as in the bald eagle.

after reading it twice I realise that it focuses more on the enviromental issues of trapping red tailed foxes and selling them as dog food, in california of corse.

it was the white american settlers that i originally thought, but this does hold value as well.
