F
Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin
G# A#
We are North Americans
F
And for those of you who still think we're from England
G# A#
We're like, no
F
We've been on planes and on trains
G# A#
Till we think we might die, far from North America
F
Where the buildings are old
G# A#
And you might have lots of mimes
F
I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way
G# A#
'Case we're North Americans
F
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
G# A#
It makes it go away
F
Oh, I don't know, oh, where to begin
G# A#
When we're North Americans
F
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again
G# A#
Come on, North America!
[chorus]
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)

We are North American scum
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)

F
And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene
G# A#
Here in North America
F
Well now your kids get to read it in your magazines
G# A#
We don't have those
F
So where's the love, where's the love,
G# A#
Where's the love tonight
F
But there's no love man,
G# A#
There's no love and the kids are uptight
F
So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up
G# A#
Let's go North America
F
Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt
G# A#
Sorry
F
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset
G# A#
Freaked out in North America
F
But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets
G# A#
Let's rock North America
[chorus]
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)
Ahh...

We are North American scum

[verse]
F
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
G# A#
We're from North America
F G# A#
It's the furthest you can live from the government
F
Some proud American Christians might disagree
G# A#
Here in North America
F
but New York's the only place
G# A#
We're keeping them off the street
F
Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night
G# A#
Shut down in North America
F G# A#
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright
F
You see, I love this place that I've grown to know
G# A#
Alright, North America
F
And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole
G# A#
'Cause we're North Americans!
[chorus]
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)
Ahh...
G# A# F
We are North American scum
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)
Ahh...
G# A# F
We're from North America
F (D#) F (D#) F (D#)
Ahh...
G# A#
We are North American
F
Take me back to the States man
G# A# F
North American scum
F
Well, we could be where we want to be in
G# A#
in North America
F
Where the DJ gigs aren't as lame
G# A# F
Here in North American scum
F
But don't blame the Canadians
G# A#
Look out, North America
