America |
| 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 |
| Your 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 bomb the 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 |
