[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh,
where to begin
We are [G]North A[A]mericans
[Em]And for those of you
who still think we're from England
We're [G]not, [A]no
[Em]We build our planes and our trains
till we think we might die
Far from [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]Where the buildings are old
and you might have lots of mimes
Aha, [G]oh, [A]oh
[Em]I hate the feelin' when you're looking
at me that way
'Cause we're [G]North A[A]mericans
[Em]But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
Makes it go a[G]way[A]
[Em]Oh I don't know, I don't know, oh,
where to begin
When we're [G]North A[A]merican
[Em]But in the end we make the same mistakes
all over again
Come on [G]North A[A]mericans

[Chorus 1]
[Em]We are North[G] A- meri[A]can scum[Em]
We're from [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]We are North[G] A meric[A]an scum[Em]
We are [G]North A[A]merican

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
[Em]New York's the greatest
if you get someone to pay the rent
Wahoo [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]And it's the furthest you can live
from the government, un [G]huh [A]huh
[Em]Some proud American Christians
might disagree
Here in [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]But New York's the only place
we're keepin' them off the street
[G]Boo [A]boo
[Em]Now we can't have parties like in Spain
where they go all night
Shut down in [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]Or like Berlin where they go another night,
alright, un [G]huh un [A]huh
[Em]You see I love this place
that I have grown to know
Alright, [G]North A[A]merica
[Em]And yeah, I know you wouldn't touch us
with a ten-foot pole
'Cause we're [G]North A[A]mericans

[Chorus 2]
[Em]We are North[G] Ameri[A]can scum[Em]
We are [G]North A[A]mericans
[Em]We are North[G] Ameri[A]can scum[Em]
We love [G]North A[A]merica

[Outro 1]
[Em]Take me back to the states man
[G]North A[A]merican [Em]scum
Where we can be all we want
if we really [G]North A[A]merican
[Em]Where the DJ gigs are as fun
Here in [G]North A[A]merican [Em]scum
Don't blame the Canadians
Let go [G]North A[A]merica
