The Great Nations of Europe - Randy Newman[00:00:00]

Written by：Randy Newman[00:00:00]

The great nations of[00:00:04]

Europe had gathered on the shore[00:00:06]

They'd conquered what was behind them[00:00:09]

And now they wanted more[00:00:11]

So they looked to the mighty ocean and[00:00:13]

Took to the western sea[00:00:16]

The great nations of Europe in the 16th century[00:00:18]

Hide your wives and daughters[00:00:22]

Hide the groceries too[00:00:25]

The great nations of Europe comin' through[00:00:27]

The grand canary islands first land[00:00:35]

To which they came[00:00:38]

They slaughtered all the canaries there[00:00:40]

Which gave the land its name[00:00:42]

There were natives there called Guanches[00:00:44]

Guanches by the score[00:00:47]

But bullets disease the Portuguese[00:00:49]

They weren't there any more[00:00:51]

Now they're gone they're gone[00:00:53]

They're really gone[00:00:56]

You never seen anyone so gone[00:00:58]

There's pictures in a museum[00:01:02]

Some lines written in a book[00:01:05]

But you won't find a live one[00:01:07]

No matter where you look[00:01:09]

Hide your wives and daughters[00:01:12]

Hide the groceries too[00:01:14]

The great nations of Europe comin' through[00:01:16]

Columbus sailed for India found[00:01:23]

El Salvador instead[00:01:26]

He shook hands with some Indians[00:01:29]

And soon they all were dead[00:01:31]

They got TB and typhoid and athlete's foot[00:01:33]

Diphtheria and the flu[00:01:36]

'Scuse me great nations comin' through[00:01:38]

Balboa found the pacific and on the trail one day[00:01:47]

He met some friendly Indians[00:01:52]

Whom he was told were gay[00:01:55]

So[00:01:58]

He had them torn apart by dogs[00:01:59]

On religious grounds they say[00:02:01]

The great nations of Europe were quite holy in their way[00:02:04]

Now they're gone they're gone[00:02:08]

They're really gone[00:02:11]

You never seen anyone so gone[00:02:13]

Some bones hidden in a canyon[00:02:18]

Some paintings in a cave[00:02:20]

They're no use tryin' to save them[00:02:22]

There's nothin' left to save[00:02:25]

Hide your wives and daughters[00:02:27]

Hide your sons as well[00:02:30]

With the great nations of Europe you never can tell[00:02:32]

Where you and I are standing at the doll of a century[00:02:38]

Europes have sprung up everywhere as anyone[00:02:43]

I can see[00:02:46]

But there on the horizon is the possibility[00:02:47]

That some bug from out of Africa might come for you and me[00:02:52]

Destroying everything in it's path from sea to shining sea[00:02:56]

Like the great nations of Europe in the 16th century[00:03:01]
