I think it is a bit too simplistic to see it as an America bashing song (although some people probably do, but then there will always be haters). I see the song more as a complaint that the world has gotten much more simple and boring in a way after everything was globalized. Basically you guys have the same things as we do over here, or in Asia for that matter - its just minor tweaks on things now. 100 years ago on the other hand almost no brand made it around the world.
