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!
