| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika ist wunderbar | America is wonderful |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
| Wenn getanzt wird will ich führen | When there’s dancing I want to lead |
| auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht | even if you’re whirling around alone |
| Lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren | Let yourselves be controlled a little |
| Ich zeige euch wie es richtig geht | I’ll show you how it really goes |
| Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen | We’re making a nice round dance |
| Die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen | Freedom is playing on all violins |
| Musik kommt aus dem Weissen Haus | Music is coming out of the White House |
| und vor Paris steht Micky Maus | and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika ist wunderbar | America is wonderful |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
| Ich kenne Schritte die sehr nützen | I know moves that are very useful |
| und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen | and I will protect you from missteps |
| Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss | And whoever doesn’t want to dance at the end |
| weiss noch nicht dass er tanzen muss | doesn’t know yet that they must |
| Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen | We’re making a nice round dance |
| Ich werde euch die Richtung zeigen | I will show you the way |
| Nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus | Santa Claus is coming to Africa |
| und vor Paris steht Micky Maus | and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika ist wunderbar | America is wonderful |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Coca-Cola, Wonderbra | Coca-Cola, Wonderbra |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
| This is not a love song | This is not a love song |
| This is not a love song | This is not a love song |
| I don’t sing my mother tongue | I don’t sing my mother tongue |
| No, this is not a love song | No, This is not a love song |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika ist wunderbar | America is wonderful |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Coca-Cola, sometimes war | Coca-Cola, sometimes war |

“Amerika” was the second single released from Reise, Reise. It deals with the worldwide dominance of the culture of the United States. It is sung largely in German with a chorus partly in English: We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We’re all living in Amerika, Amerika. It has received mixed reviews: some perceive it as anti-American, others as being opposed to globalization. The band views it as a satirical commentary on Cocacolonization.
The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the Moon with shots of other cultures acting like Americans. The end of the video shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon set in a studio, complete with film crew, a reference to the Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. Till Lindemann, Rammstein’s lead singer, wears a space suit with the name “Armstrong” on it – a reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon.
Artemis can suck my balls :b
and Hell`s High, I love Canada. ^.^
"freedom is playing on all violins"? the idea of freedom, whether given positive or negative connotation, is NOT unique to american fundamentals. If you`re going to even suggest that the problem of our government is some kind of insane lust to spread "freedom", remember that the idea of "freeom" is as old as the human race itself. As for what exactly freedom is, thats part of a much longer and quite complicated discussion.
Just because the Bush administration has forced itself into the affairs of another nation and is trying to change it into a democracy (that sounds scary to me in a way) doesn`t mean that all of america feels that this is a good thing. many people were gainst our involvment there to begin with. On top of that, the U.S was once a widely liked coutry; we kept to ourselves and were respectful of the cultures of other nations.
Finally. Everyone feels some kind of connection to where they were born. That place is special to them, that culture is embedded in them to where they cannot help but subconsiously compare it to other cultures they encounter. Does this make them dirty? Does this make them stupid? Is it evil to want to identify with the nation they were raised in? If so, then humans in general are dirty bias ignorant creatures. But I don`t think we are.
het Stratumseind in Eindhoven…
Transfer cranberries to a medium bowl and add the raisins, walnuts, orange juice, melted butter, and orange zest. Thoroughly combine….
Don't act like America hasn't done anything, kaveh. No country is perfect, and America is a paradigm of hypocritical imperfection. I don't think America is perfect, nor do I think that America is a scapegoat: I think that some claims are exaggerated but many are accurate.
Wow, lot's of simple minds here. Bizzeeb, nicely put.
America is being used as an escape goat by all the tyrants in Europe, Asia, Africa, and everywhere else. America is not evil. The state of the world is not due to any one country or any number of countries trying to dominate each other and the rest. I think class struggle, and cultural elitism are better spheres to look into when trying to de-construct dynamics of social upheavals.
well said bizzeeb.
How about everyone here stop insulting each other’s- and their own- heritage? Obviously we all have something in common or we wouldn’t be visiting this site.
Germany has been unfairly expected by the UN to serve some eternal penance over something their government did over 60 years ago. Meanwhile look at what America’s government constantly does-to both their own citizens- and other countries.
I’d say we’re comparing oranges to oranges in that regard.
As far as ‘hating’ America – I neither hate my country nor will I berate myself for being American. Sadly the vision of those that originally came here has been corrupted by a government that has become ANYTHING BUT ‘of or for’ the people.
With that said, this is a great song and the video is clever also.
I am SICK of people saying, "Oh Rammstein hates the U.S.!" No! They don't. It is just their opinion on how everyone IS living in America. Western culture has spread everywhere. And Dil, seriously, if you aren't going to post anything useful just don't post at all! They aren't Nazis just because they are from Germany. I love this song, great melody, lyrics, everything!
truth hurts
alle hassen Amerika!!! ich hasse amerika!!! Amerika ist nicht ein gut Land! is just the worst country all over the globe! tschüß!!!
You're just mad cause America kicks Germany's ass. Nazis.
Rock on Dil!!!
Yeah, all the German are nazis, what a fucking cliche. I suppose what bush is doing right now keeping thousands of troops in Afghanistan killing ordinary surveillants every day because they 'suspect' tourists are still hiding there is acceptable. And I suppose that the fact that 39% of all americans want to keep all Muslims under incubation until the war is over is also alright. Why? Is it because you're american you have special privileges to shove nazi racism into every single German's throat ever day. And America kicks Germany's ass? Yeah fucking right. Next time you sit on your computer, watch TV, drive your car, listen to your ipod, eat your hamburger, drink your beer and wear your jeans remember that these are all German inventions. Face it, you would be utterly screwed without them. Germans are by an incredible level smarter, hotter and better than america.
Oh and BTW I come from Australia, a country that is really stupid by German standards but still not as nearly as stupid as america. If they could beat other countries by anything, it would be stupidity (and fuel consumption)
Sorry… I know how stupid we (the USA) can be I see it every day, when I check my youtube account all I see is brainless comments left by ignorant fools.
I could apologize all day for the people that don’t think or can’t. I know the rest of the world hates us for our ignorance, but I’ve learned something, they (our government)are making us that way by beating into our heads useless shit everyday with news, TV, Movies, and the worst Music! if you want to make a brain dead zombie give them music with no heart or meaning, Till Lindemann said in an interview about other popular musicians having “no talent” yes the popular artists of our day have no Talent music died in the 90’s for America thank god I can get music from other countries to keep me happy!
—TO ALL YOU PEOPLE THAT CALL GERMANS NAZI’S—
My great uncle fought the Nazis and even talked with them the man told my uncle he didn’t want to fight, they made him… That’s what a US solder would tell you today if he was not the brainwashed ones like some of the Nazis were.
The world is evil you can point fingers all day but you wont get any where!
Arschloch!
Germany has more qualaty of life than the retarded U.S.A you are just so fucking depresd about it that you have nothing else to do but suck bush's DICK!
i am born in america and this country is beautiful…the lands and legions of a number of it's people are breathtaking and honourable. numerous people who live here are as frustrated and angry as i am at the current state of affairs. make no mistake, my government does not represent me. "america"…this word makes me shudder. i fervently love my country, yet have never been able to stomach the fact that its roots are bedded in hypocrisy (manifest destiny?) and perpetuated (in large part) by the HUMAN constuct of religion. i will know for myself. it is bad here…for me anyway. americans seem to have lost the mettle to stand up to injustice. the demigod of complacency has fucked the bitch of greed too many times. all hope is lost without unity…divide and conquer. if there is a revolution i would hapily join and fight because i love my country and not my government.
btw, please stop equting R+ with nazi's just because they are German. that makes about as much sense as equating me with an american as they are perceived by the rest of the world.
"it is better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you are not"
