America+by+Tracy+Chapman

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
