Great question! Most American patriotic music stays away from imperialistic themes, but they are touched on occasionally. For instance "America the Beautiful" boasts of a nation "from sea to shining sea" and alludes to a "patriot dream that sees beyond the years", which could refer to the rapid expansion of US territory in the early 20th century (when the song was written).
In popular music you'll find many more examples of imperialistic themes, especially that relate to the US. The Vietnam War was roundly criticized by the artistic community, and many songs were written that ran the gamut from pacifistic to explicitly anti-war. My personal favorite in this genre was actually written by a Canadian. In 1969, folk singer Joni Mitchell wrote the a cappella "Fiddle and the Drum" with lyrics that directly and symbolically confronted the nature of the US to choose war (the drum) over peace (the fiddle), but at the same time encouraged the US to again become the symbol of freedom and peace once again.
