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
