| 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 |
| We’re all living in Amerika | We’re all living in America |
| Amerika, Amerika | America, America |
“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.
Regardless what we put on this poll its not going to change anybody’s outlook on what they believe/feel. we all have our own opinions and sad to say with all the arguing over this thing we all still have one thing in common needless to say……WE ALL LOVE RAMMSTEIN. so we just need to embrace the music and go on with our lives regardless of how shitty it is.
Long Live Rammstein
I came to this site so I could get translations for R+ lyrics, the music sounds fantasic, great for cleaning the kitchen at work, but all I seem to have found is a load of people arguing over wether America is good or bad and wether Germans are natzis or not, I am deeply sadend by the fact that some people in this world have such a shallow mind.
As far as I am concerned, politics here in the uk, in Germany, France, USA or anywhere else in the world is just rich people who think they know what’s people want but don’t, wars are pointless in the first place all they do is split country’s up, wherthere on the home fromnt or in the batle feild. There have been 4,000+ dead due to this silly war that’s 4,000+ to many.
Just listen to the musi and have fun. Chilax
America has its flaws. Every country has flaws. It’s just that America’s flaws have happened to have a rather large impact on the world at large. Doesn’t mean we’re the devil country; it just means that we aren’t perfect, we can’t be expected to be perfect, and such the like. I like the idea of America, but in practice it hasn’t turned out all that well. In conclusion, this song is awesome, Rammstein is awesome, and people can be extremely silly 🙂
You know, except for natives, America is just made up of people from all around the world, if no one came here all the things that America globalized would just have been globalized from various countries. (And I would probably be in Norway or Germany right now.) Who knows…
Great song. There should be more bands singing about the wonderful USA. It’s a country filled with obese, arrogants. I’m listening to all you fat ass American’s, and as soon i graduate college, I’m moving to Europe. PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS EUROPEANS: america is not a glistening land of oppurtunity. I hate peoples attitudes here. People have forgotten about their morales and virtues and manners here. In school (i’m 15), even the teachers preach about how nobody can beat us in a war. I hate american patriotism, because we have nothing to brag about now. Anything you want to brag about, Europe has it. Safety, money, comfort. Everybody is already free accept a few asian and african countries. I’m not rascist, or anything, but to me, Europeans are far more attractive and pleasant. White people are. Blacks over here are rude, smelly, and are stupid. They listen to shitty musik unlike rammstein. I hate it here. And so would most Rammstein listeners, so please, All Europeans, thank yourselves for not migrating over here. I’ll try to bring the few good Americans with me when I come to Europe :]
Rammstein rules
oh yes and i hope my english is way better than some of your german=)=)
hey guys, i´m from germany and i hope you will listen to the music of r+ every day. it´s awesome, you know it. in this bloq, there are people with shit in theyr heads. germany is not a naziland. when someone in germany says he´s a nazi he get beaten up. when we have our wahlen(sorry i dont know your word) and the npd (a nazi-group) wants some bills, the plakate get burned. we have some nazis here but not more than in the rest of the world.
enjoy the music and i think america i not as bad as the news want us to think.
I don’t know why everyone always resorts to how someone is worse than another. Even joking about being a Nazi in Germany lands you in prison for three years, I highly doubt Rammstein are encouraging Nazi beliefs. Just like the Columbine shootings, they blame the artist because everyone needs someone else to blame. It’s just music, if you don’t agree with what they’re preaching, DON’T LISTEN TO IT. Also, America is PLAGUED by gangs, cults, the KKK, Neo-Nazis, etc. Where do any of us get off insulting others for their beliefs when we’re hypocrites? I don’t believe in God, Satan, Heaven, or Hell but I sure as shit don’t criticize others for doing so. I also don’t care about Neo-Nazis or the Ku Klux Klan because while I don’t agree with their philosophies, THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO BELIEVE WHAT THEY BELIEVE. All we do as Americans is whine about everything and act like we’re soooooo much better than everyone else when the truth is, we all have our faults just like Germany did. WWII was 60 years ago, GET OVER IT! It’s the same as black people crying over slavery to this day, that was 200 years ago, GET OVER IT. Are your minds so small you can’t grasp the idea that other people live life differently? That’s the problem with the world, we can’t be what we want to because there’s always someone who doesn’t like it so there’s always going to be conflict. We’re arguing over a song written about a country who’s number one in immigration, 25% of the worlds immigrants live in America and they must all be retards too if they’re coming to such an awful place right? Numbers don’t lie.
I salut u
Jaimie, I like u already
Dil, its ppl like u tht make me wanna kill others 4 ur pathetic stereotypical comment,WWII has finished u no and by the way most neo nazis r American
Why the fuck would you go on a Rammstein fan site, look at their lyrics and then call all Germans Nazis.
Fuckign idiots, no wonder Americans get such a bad press with dumbasses like that around
haha! all the Americans talking about Germans being Nazis by default need to look at Americas own population of Neo-Nazis and white supremacists! There is a rather large population of them. Oh yes, this song is cool also.
I'm confused…Am I the only person who realizes that America was built on immigration? We all came to America from Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia…I myself am German, Norwegian, Irish, English, and Russian sooooo…let's make sense here. Why is everyone fighting over some lyrics? Just so everyone knows, the Bush family is the MOST hated and embarassing family this country has ever seen. I'm embarassed to be an "American." I'm glad someone flew planes into those fucking towers, we needed to pull our heads out of our asses and swallow our egos and see there's more important things than Paris Hilton in a bathing suit eating a cheeseburger from Carl's Jr. Fuck it!
