Tracy Chapman - America lyrics

Your rating:

You were lost and got lucky, came upon the shore

Found you were conquering America

Spoke of peace, waged a war

While you were conquering America



There was land to take and people to kill

While you were conquering America

You served yourself and did God's will

While you were conquering America



The ghost of Columbus haunts this world

You're still conquering America

The meek won't survive, inherit the earth,

'Cause you're still conquering America

America

America

America



Found bodies to serve, submit and degrade, 

While you were conquering America

Made of soldiers and junkers, prisoners and slaves

While you were conquering America

America

America

America



Your hands are at my throat, my back's against the wall

You're still conquering America

We're sick and tired, hungry and poor

'Cause you're still conquering America



You bomb the very ground that feeds your own babies

You're still conquering America

Your sons and your daughters, may never sing you praises

While you're conquering America

America

America

America



I see your eyes seek the distant shore

While you were conquering America

Take your rockets to the moon, try to find a new world

And you're still conquering America

America

America

America



The ghost of Columbus haunts this world

You're still conquering America

You're still conquering America

You're still conquering America
