Because it's somewhat antiquated and has been overplayed for 30 years
Edit: >50 years
It was released in 1970......fuck.
Perhaps because there’s a big dose of misogyny intertwined with the critique of American Exceptionalism.
Think about how the song would play with genders reversed.
Three guesses?
In addition to the comments here about the lyrics, IMHO it is a one-chord song and boring. Most of Burton Cummings' songs are much more interesting musically, e.g. "Undun."
