This song is about the evils of small towns and parochialism. The people that everyone loves and trusts in small towns, if they want to, will just crush and destroy you, for no reason.
What's valued in small towns, at least in America, are football stars like Gaston, and cops. Poor people, smart people, better watch out. In the big city, nobody cares about you, but at least they're more open-minded and tolerant.
This song develops Gaston's obscured identity as the villian of the movie. You sort of think it's The Beast, but it's actually Gaston. Gaston doesn't care about other people, and he's obsessed with himself. He's a good picture of what the USA is like on the international stage, though we don't realize it. We're another 1st world country who doesn't pay attention to how the 3rd world is starving to death while we're driving an hour to the grocery store and buying Low-Fat milk so we can eat more and more.
