I watched this video a few days ago and it got me thinking . Just now i came to the conclusion that this song is not Anti-American nor is is Pro-American. What this song is trying to illustrate the fact that the world seems to become more Americanized - whether it is the USA exporting or "forcing" their way of life onto other countries or just the world wanting to ignore their roots and choose the easy life or just to become sheep.............
It is a song about cultural identity and heritage - that it should not be lost and should be something people are proud of!!!

America is spreading it's influence everywhere. I think that's a good thing :)

I don't. Maybe our lifestyles but, not our government.

Well your lifestlyle is realtively one of luxury and while I agree with democracy. The influence on world affairs should not be dictated quite largely by one country but by a collective i.e. The UN.

I don't really live like an american I bet half of you have never heard of irn bru or a flat sausage.
(those from america)
my brother absolutely loves that band and I don't really undestand that language (is it german?) so seing those subtitles after hearing that song ages ago really is awesome
P.S How good are those drums (and how fake srsly)

I don't think the food you eat really defines how you live.

i'm gonna be honest, rammstein is very weird, but at the same time they play the sickest live shows,
so it's worth going live.

You can live in luxury and eat 5 star foods or you can steretype yourself... I'm scottish so I may eat haggis apparently though I hate the stuff just like an american stereotype is hamburgers or hotdogs and an asian stereotype of eating would be sushi or some kind of raw fish.
It's half of how they conveyed their message at one point you see asians eating hamburgers.
(and africans eating pizza.)
