 x4
Oh,  I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin
 We are North Americans
And  for those of you who still think we're from England
 We're like, no
We've  been on planes and on trains
 Till we think we might die, far from North America
Where  the buildngs are old
 And you might have lots of mimes
I  hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way
 'Case we're North Americans
But  if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
 It makes it go away
Oh,  I don't know, oh, where to begin
 When we're North Americans
But  in the end, make the same mistakes all over again
 Come on, North America
Ahh...  We are North American scum
Ahh...  We're from North America
 x2
And  all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene
 Here in North America
Well  now your kids get to read it in your magizines
 We don't have those
So  where's the love, where's the love,
 Where's the love tonight
But  there's no love man,
 There's no love and the kids are uptight
So  throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up
 Let's go North America
Oh,  you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt
 Sorry
I  did it once and my parents got pretty upset
 Freaked out in North America
But  then I said the more I do it, the better it gets
 Let's rock North America
Ahh...  We are North American scum
Ahh...  We're from North America
Ahh...  We are North American scum
Ahh...  We're North American
 x2
New  York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
 We're from North America
It's  the furthest you can live from the government
Some  proud American Christians might disagree
 Here in North  America
but  New York's the only place
 We're keeping them off the street
Now  we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night
 Shut down in North America
Oh,  like Berlin where they go another night, alright
You  see, I love this place that I've grown to know
 Alright, North America
And  yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole
 'Cause we're North Americans
Ahh...  We are North American scum
Ahh...  We're from North America
Ahh...  We are North American scum
Ahh...  We're North American
Take  me back to the States man
North American scum
Well,  we could be where we want to be in
 in North America
Where  the DJ gigs aren't as lame
 Here in North American scum
But  don't blame the Canadians
 Look out, North America
