text: what are the songs the german fans sing when rooting on the national football team? i was just at the world cup match in munich and couldn't make out the various songs the german fans were singing in support of their side.  could anyone tell me what those songs are and maybe post the lyrics. the national hymn is sang of course but not with the line "germany, germany over all" this is forbidden since the second world war. only the third line is allowed.  typical football songs are:  "steh' auf, wenn du ein deutscher bist" (stand up if you are a german) to the tune of "go west" from pet shop boys  "ihr könnt nach hause gehn" (you can travel home)  "schwarz und weiß, wir stehn an eurer seite" black and white we stand at your side  hope this helps
