        Cortez The Killer
        By Neil Young

        He came dancing across the water
        With his galleons and guns
        Looking for the new world
        In that palace in the sun.

        On the shore lay Montezuma
        With his coca leaves and pearls
        In his halls he often wondered
        With the secrets of the worlds.

        And his subjects
        gathered 'round him
        Like the leaves around a tree
        In their clothes of many colors
        For the angry gods to see.

        And the women all were beautiful
        And the men stood
        straight and strong
        They offered life in sacrifice
        So that others could go on.

        Hate was just a legend
        And war was never known
        The people worked together
        And they lifted many stones.

        They carried them
        to the flatlands
        And they died along the way
        But they built up
        with their bare hands
        What we still can't do today.

        And I know she's living there
        And she loves me to this day
        I still can't remember when
        Or how I lost my way.

        He came dancing across the water
        Cortez, Cortez
        What a killer.
