I have to start by saying I like Rammstein and I like the song. If they want to write music that is anti-American or anti-American culture in general more power to them. This is one of the basic freedoms I believe in. Funny how if they put Swastika's in one of their videos, in protest or no, they'd all go to jail. Such is Germany but Germany is not the US.

I would like to comment on some of the comments already made in this forum. If you don't like Mickey Mouse, McDonalds, Pizza, Classic American Motorcycles and the retro 50's look and we can't forget the wonderbra. Don't watch it, buy it, mimic it, ride it or wear it. Why whine that these things are so successful they are coveted around the world? Does your country force you to eat pizza and wear the wonderbra? I didn't think so.

As to the US being warmongers. It is not the USA that is the worlds policeman per say, it's the UN. That is one of their responsibilities and they were formed to counter situations like the ugly ones that occurred in Europe in the early part of the 20th century. The league of nations lacked the teeth to do anything about that situation and was inept. Yes the Americans provide much of the muscle for the UN but I promise you if the rest of the world did their part the US would happily step into the background.

If your about to counter that the UN are the pawns of the US government please have your sources prepared to defend that position, and no catchy lyrics from some song don't qualify.

I like Rammstein and their music, it's opinionated morons who like to sling mud without bothering to look into the facts that I have little tolarance for. In my opinion Rammstein qualifies as opinionated artists, they deserve special consideration. Once again Great Song.

This song's all about how stupid America is. We have stupid traditions, media, and our food is killing us but we don't care because it tastes good. It mocks us, but is has very valid points. We don't need Barbie and Mickey Mouse and all that crap. And we obsess over stupid stuff like Coca-Cola. The video for this song is perfect. Check it out.

I am American and i love this song. I think it's targeted more at the spread of America's anti-cultural appeal to things, and yeah our government is going south. I also can't stand the Americans that are too blind to see that we are NOT the best at everything. Its time alot of wake up and realize that.

Im American, but I have to say I love this song. America's government, and much of it's culture is (no offense) SHIT(generalization).

This song talks about americas products being all over the place, here we see NONE of our own products, it's all made in china, and literally says, made in china, it gets rather annoying.

soo tru lol. prob why our economy is going to shit because we send everything over seas to be made just to save a fucking penny. . . i love America but im not one of the assholes who thinks oh if your not american fuck you. we give ourselves such a bad name by being soo arrogant. yes a whole lot of americans are ignorant douchebags with shallow minds but not all of us and as for the Govt yeah we wont go there lol

oh yeah and this song is awesome lol. . . Rammstein is the shit

All right people, listen up.
Doubtless, this song IS anti-American no matter what you think.
If you all would have been payin' attention when you attended school, then you would know how to analyse a text.
Anyways, as far as I like to oppose your opinions, it is both coming together: the American way of life and its consequences effecting the entire world AND them not realizing that they are not the world's cop.
I am from Germany but I have lived in the US for 11 months. Of course there are a bunch of pretty cool fellas and nice individuals, but as 'redrum' already sad, they are stuck in a magic bubble they have trapped in by government and its media.
Rammstein is not complaining about America spreading and sharing their culture with other countries. Here in Germany, e.g. there are plenty of people who love the American culture, who just admire the American fast food. It's every individuals' job to keep an eye of WHAT they do!
Rammstein is more making fun of the American war-mongers. Americans think they live in a country which is a country everyone is dreaming of, a country of freedom. Actually, there are only some detached Americans out here who realize that it is not. Americans government with its rules and regulations is a bunch of shit. They don't care of others, they don't care of global warming. America is one of the biggest heat-trapping ability in the world!
All they care about is their lifestyle. It is all about worth, their consumer acceptance and their worldwide acceptance. And the last point was the biggest dispraise and shame in the US history. The government is filled up with a flush of morons, and all THEY think about is wealth. And they can only reach it with war (in Iraq e.g., and EVERYONE in this fucking world knows, it's all about oil!).
I'm not wondering, why this backfired so striking!

Well this is a point we just have came up to. Germany did a lot of mistakes in the past, too.
But they are doing better now, they are one of the most peaceful countries on earth, fighting for freedom, giving money to poor countries and nations, fighting for them and sending troops to Afghanistan to help their police out to get a good education on how to fight terrorism.
THAT'S what America has to do.
Fuck off that oil. Try to drive less with your cars and try not to spend so much on fucking war!
All Europe (and Rammstein in the song) is complaining about is that America has so many people who love to fight for they seem to be the greatest in the world which they are not. Try to come along with other countries, show some respect and do your best to get a good future.
Germany knows well what it means to have a war-monger at its top.


Yea, I think this is it. :)
To all of you Americans out there: Don't get mad at me for saying this, but try to get this in your head and do your best of becoming more and more of a better place in the world.
It's all about you citizens to reach the acceptance and honor you think you all deserve.
Germany has also reached this. But not with war, but with peace.


Thus, peace out, fellas!

And the chorus "We're all living in America" actually means that America has its culture everywhere but also because they're the strongest country and have influenced every nation with its bullshit policy.
Thats what i guess.

And of course: "Coca Cola, sometimes war"
In my opinion Rammstein trys to say that the Americans do whatevery they want to.
Good mood "hey lets drink some coke" and when they have bad mood: "hey lets attack some country" some shit like that.

Ok, I'm done now.


Comments please :)

I really like this song. Just cause I live in Canada about 1/2 an hour from the border and so we see all these American tourists all the time and we just like to mock them all the time. I like living in Canada cause most people don't have a problem with us just cause we aren't in everyone's faces with our products and when we go down there it is like what is all this crap in their stores, seriously Americans will buy anything if it has a pricetag on it.lol Maybe why they are in a fallen economy right now. And all of them seem to try to take the "bad boy" image, but once you see past that they all look gay on their crappy Harley Davidson motorcycles with their leathers, we always ask them, "Where's the rodeo?" You get the best reactions from them. And with the nuclear weapons who has the most and can't let anyone else have any and if they try to get some they invade and half the time it is some excuse to get an advantage on some resources just pay the bills like everyone else without killing someone else to do it. And jsut so the others out there know my area is from immigrants from Germany, U.K.(Scotland, England) and France for the most part but being from Canada we always have the best wild card for heated arguments on "how great the U.S. is" and that is who burnt down the White House. It may have been in 1812 but it was still done and could be done again so don't get too comfy in your bubble cause sooner or later bubbles burst. ;)

Arrogant Worms are another band that are fun to listen too cause they mock the U.S. but be careful they are Canadian.lol

i dont speak they language but i think i know what their tryin 2 say, in the video it shows all kinds of people and cultures but in evry culture they show sum sort of american product, so basically they think and its sorta true, that were poisoning the world by amerikanizing evry1 and their sacred humble cultures, thats what i got outta this 1, but if rammstein is just talkin shit on amerika just for lasughs as they suck up our amerikan dollars and sell there german anti amerikan anthems then there prolly jus jumpin on the bandwagon for hating amerika
