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

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

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

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