Amerika Lyrics

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Amerika” is the second single from Rammstein’s fourth album Reise, Reise. It was a top 10 hit in several countries overseas, but did not chart in America.

This song deals with the worldwide influence of the culture of the United States of America, pretending to be pro-America with its cultural references, while having a completely opposite meaning as a sardonic commentary on Americanization, and America’s presence in wars in many countries over the years.

Translation in bold italics. Translated by ©2004 Jeremy Williams.
