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

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

A# (G#) A# (G#) A# (G#)
Ahh...

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