The great nations of Europe Had gathered on the shoreThey'd conquered what was behind them And now they wanted more
So they looked to the mighty ocean And took to the western sea
The great nations of Europe in the 16th century Hide your wives and daughters Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through The Grand Canary Islands First land to which they came
They slaughtered all the canaries Which gave the land its name
There were natives there called Guanches Guanches by the score
Bullets, disease, the Portuguese and they weren't there any more
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really goneYou've never seen anyone so goneThey're a picture in a museum Some lines written in a book
But you won't find a live one, no matter where you look Hide your wives and daughters Hide the groceries too
Great nations of Europe coming through Columbus sailed for India Found Salvador instead
He shook hands with some Indians and soon they all were dead
They got TB and typhoid and athlete's foot, Diphtheria and the flu
Eccuse me - great nations coming through Balboa found the Pacific And on the trail one day
He met some friendly Indians Who he was told were gay
So he had them torn apart by dogs on religious grounds they say
The great nations of Europe were quite holy in their way
Now they're gone, they're gone, they're really goneYou've never seen anyone so gone
Some bones hidden in a canyon Some paintings in a caveThere's no use trying to save them There's nothing left to save Hide your wives and daughters Hide your sons as well
With the great nations of Europe you never can tell From where you and I are standing At the end of a century
Europes have sprung up everywhere as even I can see
But there on the horizon as a possibility
Some bug from out of Africa might come for you and medestroying everything in its path From sea to shining sea
Like the great nations of Europe In the 16th century
