yeah ok so getting onto what it actually MEANS- my oppinion is that it is about the general state of mind of the american people in that they pay no attention to the rest of the world whilst believing they know all about it.
the meaning is also how Britian is quickly becoming similar or in my oppinion america's bitch. the song title "american english" supports this as it means someone who is from both countries which might as well be the same one.
"youll never look up once" now that you have "contracted american dreams" this is the main part about english ppl turning into american ppl who dont know about the outside world, then "sing a song about myself" means exactly that- he may as well be talking about himself, as idlewild are english(or british at least).
sorry if this offends any americans reading this but i think its the meaning of the song i didnt say it was my personal oppinion.
