Some people feel that it's anti-American, others see it as a resigned acceptance of America being the dominant culture of the planet. Thoughts?

1. Zis is not a love song
That's the meat of the song, as far as I'm concerned - We're all living in Amerika and not f*cking happy about it one bit.

2. Well, something about Operation Mickey Mouse
which to me means we should up our security of Mr. Mouse. Also mention of Santa Claus, Coke, Wonderbra, Star Trek and other icons of American culture, which I have no idea what they are saying, but I got the impression that they are stating that American products/culture/media is pushings its way upon everyone, hence "We all live in America, America" chorus.

Nice jam though, haven't heard this guys for a few years....

Engel is one of my fave's:
