I was in a 'music mood' at work yesterday again. Listened to the '4630 Bochum' album of Herbert Grönemeyer, and the lyrics of 'Amerika' seem quite timelessly correct:

> Oh Amerika,
> du hast viel für uns getan
> Oh Amerika,
> tu′ uns das nicht an
>
> Oh Amerika
> dann prügel, wenn du dich prügeln mußt
> in deinem eigenen Land
>
> Du willst in allem besser sein
> größer, schneller, weiter, Amerika
> ich habe Angst vor deiner Phantasie
> vor deinem Ehrgeiz, Amerika
> oh Amerika

Translation:

> Oh America
> you've done a lot for us
> Oh America
> please don't do that to us
>
> Oh America
> if you have to beat up, then beat up
> in your own country
>
> You want to be better at everything
> bigger, faster, further, America
> I'm afraid of your phantasies
> of your ambitions, America
> oh America
