Oh, I don't know, I don't know, oh where to begin
G A
We are North Americans

And for those of you who still think we're from England

We've been on planes and on trains
G A
Till we think we might die, far from North America

Where the buildngs are old

And you might have lots of mimes

I hate the feeling when you're loookin' at me that way
G A
'Case we're North Americans

But if we act all shy, it'll make it okay
G A
It makes it go away

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

Oh, you were planning it I didn't mean to interrupt

Let's rock North America

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

But don't blame the Canadians
G A
Look out, North America
