LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum lyrics

rate me

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 on 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-make the same mistakes all over again

come on north americans

ah-ha! we are north american scum

ah-ha! we're from north america (shake shake shake)

and all the kids all the kids don't wanna make a scene

here in north america

when all 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 when 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

that's my north america

ah-ha! we are north american scum

ah-ha! we're from north america

ah-ha! we are north american scum

ah-ha! 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 fat american christians might disagree

here in north america

but new york's the only place we keep them off the street

boom boom

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.

ah-ha! we are north american scum

ah-ha! we are north americans

ah-ha! we are north american scum

ah-ha! we love 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

don't blame the canadians

look out north america!!
