Bravo, rdo. Here, in Europe, we love to hate the USA. I could never figure out why - any wrongs that the US did in the world is child's play compared with what most European nations did, as you very correctly point out (and you mercifully left out the UK out of your examples...)

I guess little people love to hate the big guys out of envy.

I think for the sake of accuracy in statements, it should be pointed out that you are the troll and not me.  Your statement, if put to a vote, would be supported by about 1% if the US population.  Mine 99%.  That makes you the troll, not me.  I may be in the minority on this comment board, but not the listeners of this station.  Most people ignore trolls like you and don't even bother responding to your hatred.  I get a little annoyed every now and then and speak up.  But let's be clear about who is the troll.  BTW, I am glad you speak up.  All opinions are welcome here, even the trolls like you.  {#Cheers}  I like trolls.  {#Wave}

I am, being half-English, and not only is it not a problem, it's actually a duty to oppose UK imperialism as much as to oppose, say, US imperialism, from the inside. There are many countries in a country, the US being a classic example. When rightists in the US say "USA: love it or leave it", they mean their particular USA. Similarly, when English conservatives lay claim to England as their own, they're defining the whole country according to the one dominant, highly reactionary, and culturally-specific part. The Amerimacka referred to in this song is a specific culturally- and politically-dominant US, the US of "American Dream" propaganda - most of the US doesn't belong to that bit, and if you can't see that and continue to identify with the dominant culture then you might need to wipe the scales from your eyes.

"We're the good guys, but not the only good guys.  If we are bad, then we are no worse than any other country."

Oh, I think you're being a bit disingenuous there. The US 'projects its force' worldwide and stiffs an awful lot of folk who oppose its 'vital interests', which for imperialists is very good indeed, but for many others, particulary those getting the rough end of the pineapple from Uncle Sam, it makes it worse than most other imperialist nations simply because it's the most militarily powerful. Much as Britain was before Uncle Sam supplanted it as the world's #1 imperial power after WWII.

I was only gonna say, "Love their groove," and discovered that this thread is in the middle of a big political debate.  As an US Navy vet, I can assure you that we're not always the good guys.  Most of the time, however, we do come down on the side of truth and justice.  The problem, is that lots of folks are not interested in truth and justice; they're only interested in keeping the revenue stream aimed at their own pocket.
 
Just my opinion, and thanks to the electrons that surrendered their freedom so I can post it onto the world wide web.

I generally prefer to stay out of these debates, but I just feel compelled to respond.

Just because there are places on the planet that are much, much worse doesn't mean we don't have problems we should address.  Honestly, one has nothing to do with the other.  The US is the leader of the free world, and as with any celebrity, its actions will be scrutinized to the nth degree.  It is the price we pay for our spot in the limelight.

Getting back to my original point though - we should always strive to make things better, irrespective of the behaviors of those around us.  We should fight for what we know is right, not shrug our shoulders and say, "well, at least we're not Yemen."

Your argument is provocative in its imagery but has no teeth.

But I am convinced the lyrics posted everywhere else are not quite right. Maybe it's just sung differently from the lyric sheet, which is a common practice, but this is what I get (with my variations in bold):

Miss Liberty turn inna Jezebel
All a de dreams you go sell turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn't have to hide in her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now we are all burning in her flames

Amerimacka
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
Amerimacka
It’s like licking honey off of a knife
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie

The land of the free built on slavery
Her conscience is in captivity
The promised land is in the lion’s den
Your culture of greed is got to end
Now we’re laying in the mud
Looking up above
‘Til water just a drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I

Amerimacka
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie
Amerimacka
It’s like licking honey off of a knife
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Amerimacka, oh what a beautiful lie

Generally minor variations except of course for the closing line:
from the pointless "oh what a beautiful LIFE"
to the ironic "oh what a beautiful LIE."
(Ironic as in "licking honey off of a knife.")

AFAIK, if it isn't actually the correct lyric, it certainly ought to be!

Cheers all,

America is great in spite of ourselves. There is room for criticism and its not all black and white (pardon the pun). The fact that we can listen to this song as it criticizes America points out one of the (as of yet) redeeming qualities that make it great...freedom of speech. Lets protect that at all costs peeps.
