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
C#m A E B [x2]
There was lC#mand to take
And pAeople to kill
WhEile you were conquering AmBerica
You sC#merved yourself
ADid God's will
WhEile you were conquering AmBerica
C#m A E B
The ghC#most of Columbus
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!) ABmerica,
C#m(Uh!) AAmerica, E(uh!) B
You fC#mound bodies to serve
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...
C#mI see you eyes
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
Chorus...
The ghC#most of Columbus
AHaunts this world
'Cause yEou're still conquering AmBerica
C#mYou're still conquering AAmerica
EYou're still conquering ABmerica
C#m A E B
Uh!
