North American Scum - LCD Soundsystem

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 un huh huh

Some proud american christians might disagree

Here in north america

But new york’s the only place we’re keepin them off the street

Boo boo 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, un huh un 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 love north america

Take me back to the states man

North american scum

Where we can be all we want if we really ??

Here in north american scum

Don’t blame the canadians
