i dont think its sarcastic. i think he's being ironic saying that "democracy is 'coming' to the USA" when the point of the USs existence is to be and have always been democratic although for along time it hasn't been.
so at first this song sounds patriotic, preaching manifestdestiny etc when infact Cohen is cleverly highlighting the hypocracy of the whole system
I love that it's cynical and hopeful at the same time. And "From the homicidal bitchin' that goes down in every kitchen / To determine who will serve and who will eat." Can anyone write better than this?
