    He came dancing across the water With his galleons and guns Looking for a new world A palace in the sun On the shore lay Montezuma With his cocoa leaves and pearls In his halls he often wondered The secrets of the worlds Oh, and his subjects gathered round him Like 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 flat-lands And they died along the way They built up with their bare hands What we still can't build today And I know she's living there And she loves me to this day I can still remember when Or how I lost my way Cortez, Cortez He came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Came dancing across the water Came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Came dancing across the water Cortez, Cortez Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Dancing across the water Quelle: LyricFind Songwriter: Neil Young

    And every bit of that song is factually incorrect. The Aztecs were hyper-violent, warlike trash who were stupid, cruel, and extremely violent. They were killers and cannabals. It was Cortez who forbade the human sacrifices and cannabalism and brought them Catholicism, relative civility, and the Spanish language. Young apparently doesn't like to read history.

If I had to it would absolutely be Eddie Vedder. Listen to just breathe. Off he goes. Or release. Eddie and Neil are close friends. ✌

They also had Tom Waits, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, and Brian Wilson. Very good year.

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.
