You were lost and got lucky Came upon the shore Found you were conquering America You spoke of peace But waged a war While you were conquering America
There was land to take And people to kill While you were conquering America
You served yourself Did God's will While you were conquering America
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world 'Cause you're still conquering America The meek won't survive Or inherit the earth 'Cause you're still conquering America
America
America
America
You found bodies to serve Submit and degrade While you were conquering America Made us soldiers and junkies Prisoners and slaves While you were conquering America
America
America
America
You hands are at my throat My back's against the wall Because you're still conquering America
We're sick and tired hungry and poor 'Cause you're still conquering America
You the bomb very ground That feeds your own babies You're still conquering America
Your sons and your daughters May never sing your praises While you're conquering America
America
America
America
I see you eyes seek a distant shore While you're conquering America Taking rockets to the moon Trying to find a new world And you're still conquering America
America
America
America
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world 'Cause you're still conquering America
You're still conquering America
You're still conquering America
