I agree with whabang, it's more a criticism towards the rest of the world mimicking the US culture. You have to keep in mind that Rammstein has a habit of making very ironic and satiric song. Amerika is not one of the better songs on the album if you ask me BTW. I especially like Moskau (in a very wrong Tatu-esque kinda way) and Amour. A very chart friendly and commercial album, nevertheless I still like it.

Rammstein: America.

We're all living in America,
America is marvelous.
We're all living in America,
America, America.

We're all living in America,
America is marvelous.
We're all living in America,
America, America.

If one dances, I want to lead,
Even if you turn you alone,
Leave to you little controlling,
I show you how it's done correctly.
We form a loving row (? not sure if Reigen translates as row..)
Freedom plays on all the violins,
Music comes from the White House,
And before Paris Mickey Mouse stands

We're all We're all
We're all living in America,
America is marvelous.
We're all living in America,
America, America.

I know steps, which are very usefull
And will protect you from making wrong steps
And who does not want to dance at the end,
Doesn't yet know that he must dance!
We form a loving row(?),
I will show you the way,
To Africa Santa Claus comes,
And before Paris Mickey Mouse stands.

We're all living in America,
America is marvelous.
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’s tongue,
No, this is not a love song.

We're all living in America,
America is marvelous.
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.

All in all pretty crappy lyrics.

If one is to go by the lyrics alone it seems pretty much solely US bashing, however if one takes the videoclip into account it seems to be more of a dig at the stupidity of the rest of the world for wanting/emulating US culture (IMHO ofcourse).
