You were lost and got luck
Came upon the shore
Found you were conquering America
You spoke of peace
But waged a war
While you were conquering AmericaThere was land to take
And people to kill
While you were coquering America
You served yourself
Did God's will
While you were conquering AmericaThe 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 AmericaAmerica
America
AmericaYou found bodies to serve
Submit and degrade
While you were conquering America
Made us soldiers and junkies
Prisoners and slaves
While you were conquering AmericaAmerica
America
AmericaYour 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 AmericaYou 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 AmericaAmerica
America
AmericaI see you eyes seek a distant shore
While you're conquering America
Taing rockets to the moon
Trying to find a new world
And you're still conquering AmericaAmerica
America
AmericaThe ghosts of Columbus haunts this world
'Cause you're still conquering America
You're still conquering America
You're still conquering America
