AHaunts this world
'Cause yEou're still conquering AmBerica
The mC♯meek won't survive
Or inhAerit the earth
'Cause yEou're still conquering AmBerica

C♯m(Uh!)   AAmerica,    E(uh!)    B

SubmAit and degrade
WhEile you were conquering AmBerica
Made us sC♯moldiers and junkies
PrAisoners and slaves
WhEile you were conquering AmBerica

Chorus...

You hC♯mands are at my throat
My bAack's against the wall
Because yEou're still conquering AmBerica
We're sC♯mick and tired
AHungry and poor
'Cause yEou're still conquering AmBerica

C♯m     A     E     B  [x2]

You bC♯momb the very ground
That fAeeds your own babies
EYou're still conquering ABmerica
Your sC♯mons and your daughters
May nAever sing your praises
WhEile you're conquering AmBerica

Chorus...

Seek a dAistant shore
WhEile you're conquering AmerBica
Taking rC♯mockets to the moon
Trying to fAind a new world
And yEou're still conquering AmBerica
