I can't tell if Lowery is being cheeky or if it's really just as simple as the chorus suggests. If he's cheeky, it could be mocking Americans who see the world in black-and-white and see themselves as the good guys, but he could be mixing it with sincere feelings of "well, you live in America, it could be worse for you, just relax and get high and listen to music", idk. I love the Russia stanza anyway.
