North American Scum lyrics

Oh oh oh

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 not, no

We build our planes and our trains till we think we might die

Far from North America

Where the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes

Aha, oh, oh

I hate the feelin' when you're looking at me that way

Cause we're North Americans

But if we act all shy, it'll make it ok

Makes it go away

Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin

When we're North American

But in the end we make the same mistakes all over again

Come on North Americans

We are North American scum

We're from North America

And all the kids, all the kids that want to make the scene

Here in North America

When our young kids get to read it in your magazines

We don't have those

So where's the love, where's the love, 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 till the cops come in and bust it up

Let's go North Americans

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

We are North American scum

We're from North America

We are North American scum

We are North American

New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent

Wahoo North America

And it's the furthest you can live from the government uh huh huh

Some fat American christians might disagree

Here in North America

But New York's the only place we're keepin' them off the street

Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night

Shut down in North America

Or like Berlin where they go another night, alright, uh huh uh huh

You see I love this place that I have 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

We are North American scum

We are North Americans

We are North American scum

We're from North America

Take me back to the states, man

North American scum

Where we can be in any one of a million new bands

North America

Where the DJ gigs aren't as fun

Here in North American scum

But don't blame the Canadians

Look out North America
