This song really makes a lot of sense. The USA isn't a bad country, necessarily, but it is a selfish one. It will do ANYTHING to get its way, and they NEVER help anyone who didn't have something they wanted. WW2? They only helped because they were attacked. Vietnam? Geopolitical location. Iraq? HUGE sea of oil. But Saudi Arabia, Zimbabwae, any poor country with a dictator which either loves america or doesn't have anything useful, the USA wont' help or will actually befriend. USA was friends with evil evil Saddam when Saddam liked America. USA is friends with Saudi Arabia, who persecute the hell out of their women. But that's okay, they give us oil. The USA will hurt anyone who doesn't do something the USA approves of, no matter who rules the country.
