No no no... The song doesnt imply we are the dread and envy of them all like he means it... the line before says "Lesser nations to tyrants fall" its THEM that we are the dread and envy of... kind of like a statements against evil. Not everyone.
Hehe, yeah, Rule Britannia isn't the national anthem; though I personally prefer it. It would make a fitting replacement perhaps if/when the monarchy is finally dissolved. God Save the Queen is both mystical and authoritarian; so I say down with it.

As the loud blast that tears the skies,
Serves but to root thy native oak.
Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame:
All their attempts to bend thee down,
Will but arouse thy generous flame;
