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

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

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