On America

4th of July is a day when people from the USA, and in the USA, commemorate the ratification of the Declaration of the Independence.

In a lot of ways, the project called “United States of America” was a revolutionary project, so much different from the ways all other countries used to be.

Today, I would like to quote Rammstein’s Amerika. The band is primarily known among the German audience for their primitive lyrics, and aggressive music. This song is a tad different.

We’re all living in America
America is wonderful
We’re all living in America
America, America
We’re all living in America
America is wonderful
We’re all living in America
America, America

When we dance I want to lead
When you turn yourself around alone
Let us control you a bit
I’ll show you how to walk right
We create a lovely round dance
The freedom plays from all violins
Music comes from the White House
And in front of Paris stands Mickey Mouse

We’re all living in America
America is wonderful
We’re all living in America
America, America

I know the very useful steps
And I will protect you from missteps
And who does not want to dance at the end
Does not know that he must dance
We create a lovely round dance
I will show you the direction
To Africa comes Santa Claus
And in front of Paris stands Mickey Mouse

We’re all living in America
America is wonderful
We’re all living in America
America, America
We’re all living in America
Coca Cola, Wonderbra
We’re all living in America
America, America

This is not a love song
This is not a love song
I don’t sing my mother tongue
No, this is not a love song

We’re all living in America
America is wonderful
We’re all living in America
America, America
We’re all living in America
Coca Cola, sometimes war
We’re all living in America
America, America
