America

You were lost and got lucky
Came upon the shore
Found you were conquering America
You spoke of peace
But 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
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

America
America
America

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

America
America
America

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

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

America
America
America

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

America
America
America

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

América

Estaban perdidos y tuvieron la suerte
De llegar a la costa
Se encontraron con que estaban conquistando América
Hablaban de paz
Iniciando una guerra
Mientras estaban conquistando América

Había territorios que ocupar
Y gente a que matar
Mientras estaban conquistando América
Se dispusieron a ustedes mismos
Cumpliendo la voluntad de Dios
Mientras estaban conquistando América

El espíritu de Colón ronda por este mundo
Porque ustedes siguen conquistando América
Los pobres no sobrevivirán
Ni heredarán la tierra
Porque ustedes siguen conquistando América

América
América
América

Se encontraron masas para serles util
Para entregar y degradar
Mientras estaban conquistando América
Nos hicieron guerreros y adictos
Prisioneros y esclavos
Mientras estaban conquistando América

América
América
América

Sus manos están en mi garganta
Mi espalda contra la pared
Porque siguen conquistando América
Estamos hasta el tope de hambre y pobreza
Porque siguen conquistamdo América

América
América
América

Veo que sus ojos buscan una costa lejana
Mientras están conquistando América
Envían cohetes a la luna
Tratan de encontrar un nuevo mundo
Y todavía siguen conquistando América

América
América
América

El espíritu de Colón ronda por este mundo
Porque siguen conquistando América
Siguen conquistando América
Siguen conquistando América
