The song always seemed to be more about a protest of the spread of American culture, than an outright anti-American song to me.. which makes a lot of sense, because as McDonalds and Coca Cola go across the entire globe, regional cultures and traditions are slowly being erased. In Italy for example, teh Fiesta or whatever it was called (I forget the name unfortunately), where everyone takes a break at around 4 pm to go out, is becoming less and less frequent.
Likely countless other examples could be used, and while I agree with the song ,blaming America for it isn't right since there's nothign stopping an 80 year old man in the Phillipines from buying ethnic food over McDonalds.
Dudes, its like America embraced Capitalism.
So our Companies are big and stuff, and they went to like other countries.

Then those companies were all
'Dude, like here's hella money can we build our shit here?'
Then those companies were all
'Dude, like here's hella money can we build our shit here?'
And then those countries were all
'yeah, sure whatever.'
And then those countries were all

So it's like not America or even the American government's fault. (except for wars n shit)
It's american corporations everyone is pissed at.
Who aren't part of the government anyway they just happen to be in America.
