Tracy Chapman - America Lyrics

These kind of songs make me think of how disgusting us People are.
One of my favourite songs. Tracy Chapman is simply amazing

I love the music of Tracy Chapman
💗💗💗💗💙💙💙💚💚💚💛💛🧡🧡
I'd like be how her.
💎💎💎💎💎💎💎👑👑👑👑👒👑👑
I want she going to Perù.

i'm a american native ,i love this song

Кайфный мотив 👍👍👍👍👍

america the sad mad young empire that has more blood on it's hands than hitler, stalin and mao together.

I do love the song but America is one the best places to live. I'm from Cuba BTW.

Others have also done horrible things to others. It's not really an "America" problem is a HUMAN problem.

How do you love the song if you dont understand what she is saying? The history of america is and still is violent, yes its a human problem and no this is not a free country. Capitalism is this society and country.

What exactly is making her feel suppressed?? America is a free country...

Then you didn't get the point of the song. Whilst ones are free, the others are slaves

well done Tracy...Love You

This will never be a national anthem because shame does not translate into pride of achievement. It is a powerful song that holds a mirror up to our faces and dares us to deny what was, what is and what will be America. Forgetting would be a travesty.

Tricia Butler what do you mean?

LYRICS

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 [x3]

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 [x3]

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 [x3]

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 [x3]

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

Yemi Balogun im bout to sing this at my school I swear lol

Wow. What an amazing song!!! God bless you Tracy Chapman.

This song even sounds inspired by Native-American music. I love it. I want to cover it and keep it forever.

This is a wonderful and flowing song, I love how the beat feels odd at the start then blends to a perfect mix by the end and I end up missing it when it's gone. Great piece!

casey duer don't the drums and especially the chant during the chorus sound like they are straight from something you'd hear if sitting with true native americans? Tracy is a genius.

Well, thank goodness this isn't relevant in the current political climate or anything. And never will be again. Clearly.

Sending Love, Light & Peace to Tracy👍🌈🆒🌞👋💇💗
