North American Scum (radio edit)
Oh, 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 pit our blades and all trains
'Til we think we might die, far from North America
Where the buildings are old
And you might have lots of mines, uh-huh, uh, uh
I hate the feeling when you're lookin' 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
Well, we're North Americans
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again
Come on, North America
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We're from North America
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
Wah-hoo, North America
And it's the furthest you can live from the government
Uh-huh, huh
Some proud American Christians might disagree
Here in North America
But New York's the only place would keep them off the streets
Ooh, ooh
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'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
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North Americans
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah-ah) oh, oh, oh, oh
We love North America
(Ah-ah) take me back to states, man
North American scum
(Ah-ah) where we can be in any one of a million new bands
North America
(Ah-ah) where the DJ gigs aren't as fun
Here in North American scum
(Ah-ah) but don't blame the Canadians
Look out, North America
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 pit our blades and all trains
'Til we think we might die, far from North America
Where the buildings are old
And you might have lots of mines, uh-huh, uh, uh
I hate the feeling when you're lookin' at me that way
