Although this song can be mistaken as an anthem, it is actually a criticism against his country. However, in my opinion, it is also a song packed with hope, because he criticizes his country but he loves it at the same time and he is hopeful because he thinks all is going to improve one day. It isn´t a criticism at all because it is also constructive.
