I agree with onlineatron. But I'd go further and say the song is from the perspective of not just "someone," but the capitalist, the corporation. "Oh America, can I owe you one?" calls my mind to GM and Chrysler as well as the financial firms, who took money from Uncle Sam.
The cup of coffee line is interesting not just because it shows how far the capitalist has fallen, but it also calls my attention to the whole "peak coffee" crisis leading to a dramatic jump in bulk coffee prices.
I had never heard the word rubes before. Definition for anyone who's interested: "n. derogatory. A country bumpkin. From an abbreviation of the name 'Reuben.'"
