Amerika [English translation]
Amerika [English translation]
You're coming to rescue in every emergency
Showing your sheriff star to the world
Sending saddle trucks through the night
Getting into position, America
Oh America, you've done a lot for us
Oh America, don't do that to us
You've sent many care-packages to us
Today it's rockets, America
You've got so much more space than we do
Why are they here, America
Oh America, you've done a lot for us
Oh America, don't do that to us
Oh America, if you simply can't help it
Oh America, then fight if you have to fight in your own country
You always want to be better at everything
Bigger, faster, wider, America
I'm frightened of your fantasy
Of your ambition, America
Oh America, you've done a lot for us
Oh America, don't do that to us
Oh America, if you simply can't help it
Oh America, then fight if you have to fight in your own country
Invite Russia to you finally
Get an agreement tu run down weapons, America
Or shoot each other on the moon
Beat each other up there, it's uninhabitated
Oh America, you've done a lot for us
Oh America, don't do that to us
Oh America, if you simply can't help it
Oh America, then fight if you have to fight in your own country
