American Pie Worldview

1. God and the Universe
"the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"
"The jester stole his thorny crown"
-satan stole God's crown therefore leaving the power to us. So we have our own power in this universe.

2. Humanity and Identity
"No angel born in hell could break that satan's spell"

3. Conflict and Suffering
"The day the music died"
"This'll be the day that I die"

4. Hope and Redemption
"That I could make those people dance and, maybe, they'd be happy for a while."

5. Values and Relationships
"I dig those rythm and blues"
"I saw satan laughing with delight the day the music died"

6. Truth and Knowledge
"The father, son and holy ghost, they caught the last train for the coast the day the music died"

Therefore the worldview of "American Pie" is Secular Humanism, because there is no god and after the music dies there is nothing left. So once the music dies, he (the speaker) also dies, there is nothing left after death!
