           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
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

     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
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

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

      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
