North American Scum

Uh, uh, oh
Uh huh huh huh
Uh, huh, huh
Huh

Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh, where to begin
We are North Americans
And for those of who still think we're from England
We're not. No.

We've been on planes and on trains 'til we think we might die
Far from North America
Where the buildings are old, and you might have lots of mimes
Uh huh, uh, uh

I hate the feeling when you're looking at me that way
'cause we're North Americans
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
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, make the same mistakes all over again
Come on, North Americans!

Oh oh oh oh
We are North American scum
Oh oh ohhh
We're from North America

And all the kids, all the kids that wanna make a scene
Here in North America
Well now your 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
Uh, uh

So throw a party 'til 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!

Oh oh oh oh
We are North American scum
Oh oh ohhh
We're from North America

Oh oh oh oh
We are North American scum
Oh oh ohhh
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 keeping them off the street
Boo, boo

Now, we can't have parties like it's 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've grown to know
All right, North America
And yeah I know you wouldn't touch us with a ten foot pole
'cause we're North Americans

Oh oh oh oh
We are North American scum
Oh oh ohhh
We are from North Americans

Oh oh oh oh
We are North American scum
Oh oh ohhh
We love North America

Take me back to the states, man
North American scum
Where we can be in only one of a million new bands
North America

Where the DJ gigs aren't as grand
Here in North American scum
But don't blame the Canadians
Look out North America
