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]


C#m
There was land to take
A
And people to kill
E B
While you were conquering America
C#m
You served yourself
A
Did God's will
E B
While you were conquering America


C#m A E B


C#m
The ghost of Columbus
A
Haunts this world
E B
'Cause you're still conquering America
C#m
The meek won't survive
A
Or inherit the earth
E B
'Cause you're still conquering America


C#m A E B
(Uh!) America, (uh!) America,
C#m A E B
(Uh!) America, (uh!)


C#m
You found bodies to serve
A
Submit and degrade
E B
While you were conquering America
C#m
Made us soldiers and junkies
A
Prisoners and slaves
E B
While you were conquering America


Chorus...


C#m
You hands are at my throat
A
My back's against the wall
E B
Because you're still conquering America
C#m
We're sick and tired
A
Hungry and poor
E B
'Cause you're still conquering America


C#m A E B [x2]


C#m
You bomb the very ground
A
That feeds your own babies
E B
You're still conquering America
C#m
Your sons and your daughters
A
May never sing your praises
E B
While you're conquering America

Chorus...


C#m
I see you eyes
A
Seek a distant shore
E B
While you're conquering America
C#m
Taking rockets to the moon
A
Trying to find a new world
E B
And you're still conquering America

Chorus...


C#m
The ghost of Columbus
A
Haunts this world
E B
'Cause you're still conquering America
C#m A
You're still conquering America
E B
You're still conquering America


C#m A E B


Uh!
