'Johnny' in the song is from 'John Doe' which is used to identify an unknown victim of a crime.
'Coke' is NOT cocaine, but Coca-Cola, a worldwide image of America. Even in countries that are anti-America, they still love Coke.
This song is simply saying that America and Americans are shallow and destructive; instead of adding to the world in a meaningful way, they take the basest and the easiest path.
Compare THIS song about America to the song he wrote earlier in his career, 'Young Americans' and you can see how his views of America and Americans have changed.

Americans MADE the modern world. For better or for worse, the rest of the world spent the 20th century trying to BECOME America.

People SHOULD be afraid of Americans. We are both glorious, and terrible. But no one can justifiably say that we have "not contributed to the world in a meaningful way".
