We are North Americans
E MajorE
And for those of you who still think we're from England

We're like, no

We've been on planes and on trains
A augmentedA
Till we think we might die, far from North America
E MajorE
Where the buildngs are old
A augmentedA
And you might have lots of mimes
E MajorE
I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way
A augmentedA
'Case we're North Americans
E MajorE
But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
A augmentedA
It makes it go away

When we're North Americans
E MajorE
But in the end, make the same mistakes all over again

And all the kids, all the kids who want to make the scene
A augmentedA
Here in North America
E MajorE
Well now your kids get to read it in your magizines
A augmentedA
We don't have those
E MajorE
So where's the love, where's the love,
A augmentedA
Where's the love tonight
E MajorE
But there's no love man,
A augmentedA
There's no love and the kids are uptight
E MajorE
So throw a party until the cops come in and bust it up

Let's go North America
E MajorE
Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt
A augmentedA
Sorry

Freaked out in North America

But then I said the more I do it, the better it gets
A augmentedA
Let's rock North America

VERSES
E MajorE
New York's the greatest if you get someone to pay the rent
A augmentedA
We're from North America
A augmentedA
It's the furthest you can live from the government
E MajorE
Some proud American Christians might disagree
A augmentedA
Here in North America
E MajorE
but New York's the only place
A augmentedA
We're keeping them off the street
E MajorE
Now we can't have parties like in Spain where they go all night
A augmentedA
Shut down in North America
A augmentedA
Oh, like Berlin where they go another night, alright
E MajorE
You see, I love this place that I've grown to know

Alright, North America

Here in North American scum
E MajorE
But don't blame the Canadians
