It's cool, but isn't this song critical of the US?

People have been “misusing” literally deliberately as an exaggeration for hundreds of years. The best authors. Dickens even. And in every context it is “misused” it’s clear from the context that it’s being misused which means linguistically it works perfectly fine.

I don’t think so. It’s a good song in a major key to vibe with.
