America your head's too big, Because America, Your belly is too big. And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you belong
In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way.
But where the president, is never black, female or gay, and until that day,
you've got nothing to say to me, to help me believe
In America, it brought you the hamburger. Well America you know where, you can
shove your hamburger. And don't you wonder, why in Estonia they say, Hey you, you big fat pig, you fat pig, you fat pig
Steely blue eyes with no love in them, scan the World,
And a humourless smile, with no warmth within, greets the world.
And I, I have got nothing, to offer you
No-no-no-no-no, just this heart deep and true, which you say you don't need
See with your eyes, touch with your hands, please, hear through your ears, know in your soul, please. For haven't you me with you now? and I love you, I love you, I love you. And I love you, I love you, I love you.
I think this says alot about some (most??) peoples love/hate 'relationship' with America. The majority like the cultural exports of film/cinema, music of many forms, but loathe the political aspects that are forced on them by dubious a foreign policy which promotes war and 'pre-emptive' action without necessary provocation.

Best: the Constitution and strong principles that the world's first democracy has inherited from its Founding Fathers, one of the first groups of leaders in history to genuinely strive to rule based on ideals for the betterment of a country. This helps somewhat mitigate against...
Worst: the arrogance that comes from being the most powerful country in the world, and the paranoia that leads to anyone who questions it hastily being labelled "unpatriotic" or "anti-American".
