du kommst als retter in jeder not
zeigst der welt deinen sheriffstern
schickst sattelschlepper in die nacht
bringst dich in stellung, amerika
oh amerika
du hast viel für uns getan
oh amerika
tu uns das nicht an
viele care-pakete hast du uns geschickt
heute raketen, amerika
du hast bei dir so viel mehr platz als wir
was sollen sie hier, amerika
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
lad rußland endlich zu dir ein
einigt, entrüstet euch, amerika
oder schießt euch gemeinsam auf den mond
schlagt euch dort oben, der ist unbewohnt
oh amerika ...
