There was l ^C#m and to take

^A Haunts this world
'Cause y ^E ou're still conquering Am ^B erica
The m ^C#m eek won't survive
Or inh ^A erit the earth
'Cause y ^E ou're still conquering Am ^B erica

Made us s ^C#m oldiers and junkies
Pr ^A isoners and slaves
Wh ^E ile you were conquering Am ^B erica

You h ^C#m ands are at my throat
