America
You were lost and got luckyCame upon the shoreFound you were conquering AmericaYou spoke of peaceBut waged a warWhile you were conquering America
There was land to takeAnd people to killWhile you were conquering AmericaYou served yourselfDid God's willWhile you were conquering America
The ghost of Columbus haunts this world'Cause you're still conquering AmericaThe meek won't surviveOr inherit the earth'Cause you're still conquering America

You found bodies to serveSubmit and degradeWhile you were conquering AmericaMade us soldiers and junkiesPrisoners and slavesWhile you were conquering America

You hands are at my throatMy back's against the wallBecause you're still conquering AmericaWe're sick and tired hungry and poor'Cause you're still conquering America
You bomb the very groundThat feeds your own babiesYou're still conquering AmericaYour sons and your daughtersMay never sing your praisesWhile you're conquering America

I see you eyes seek a distant shoreWhile you're conquering AmericaTaking rockets to the moonTrying to find a new worldAnd you're still conquering America

The ghost of Columbus haunts this world'Cause you're still conquering AmericaYou're still conquering AmericaYou're still conquering America
