[LCD Soundsystem - North American Scum lyrics]
Oh, oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, 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’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, oh, oh
I hate the feelin' 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 when we're North American
But in the end
Make the same mistakes all over again
Come on, North Americans
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh we're from North America
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
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" that's my North America
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh we're from North America
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh 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
Keep them off the street 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 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 ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh we are North Americans
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah ah) Oh, oh, oh we love North America
(Ah ah) Take me back to the 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, 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’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, oh, oh
