[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!
