[x2]

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

(Uh!) America, (uh!) America,

(Uh!) America, (uh!)

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

Chorus...

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

[x2]

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

Chorus...

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

Chorus...

The ghost of Columbus

Haunts this world

'Cause you're still conquering America

You're still conquering America

You're still conquering America

Uh!
