VERSES
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
CHORUS
Ahh... We are North American scum
Ahh... We re from North America

VERSES
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
CHORUS
Ahh... We are North American scum
Ahh... We re from North America
Ahh... We are North American scum
Ahh... We re North American

VERSES
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
CHORUS
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
