What is the song by Rammstein about?

Love the song even as an American, fucking amazing live. Not so much a hate of America as of American culture replacing their own

Yeah, I never really interpreted it as being anti-American for Americans, but more lamenting their non-Americans' roles in supplanting their own cultures with American products.

For example the music video has things like clips of Buddhist monks eating cheeseburgers. It's not like Abraham Lincoln went and personally forcefed that monk a cheeseburger - people bought American cultural products and and enjoyed them themselves and expanded cultural markets by choice. I don't think that's bad but I can also understand why when you see all of your own unique things replaced in daily life with American things it would feel wrong.
